Gunter,

Thank you for answering my message. I noticed that you do
not have any birth dates for Joseph and Helena. I may be
able to get those for you.

I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Thank you.

Jean

Gunter,

Thanks for giving me your web address with all your
research. I found a lot on the Provost family I have
been researching. I am giving it to a friend of mine
because these people are her ancestors.

She is very excited about the research you have done.

Have you had any luck researching the "Pots" family?
Helena Pots married Joseph Provost and Helena is my
friends grandmother.

Thanks again.

Jean

pretty sure it is Helena Sidonia Pots, born in Denderleeuw (just down the road from Denderhoutem) on March 30, 1898. She died July 1986.

if this rings true, i'll email you her ancestry as well

gunter

Gunter,

That sounds very promising. Please forward her ancestry.

I gave my friends some of your info from your website about Joseph Provost and they were so happy. They had a great time
reviewing their relatives, many who they forgot or simply did not know. This was especially pleasing to Joseph Provost's living daughter. Reading about her family put a big smile on her face.

Thank you again for helping me with my genealogy research.
Without you, and many other researchrs who have shared their research with me, I could not have found your research on my own.

Thank you again for all your help.

Jean

Hello Gunter - I am pretty sure that Helena Pots was my Grandmother but I will have to check her date of birth and her middle name. She was Helena Pots married to Joseph Provost (1895) they had one daughter, my mother still living Mariette Brewer born in l922 Detroit, MI USA.

hello

helena was the daughter of franciscus pots, born 21 feb 1864 in Denderleeuw and Rosalia-Adelina Van Schelvergem, born 23 aug 1870 in Denderleeuw. They married in Denderleeuw 14 may 1891.
If you haven't heard yet from Erik Witterzeel, email me on Ggdepa_@excite.com as i should be able to provide some more information.

regards
gunter

Gunter,

Sorry if I have already responded to your last message. I
have been having trouble sending my reply.

I have not received a reply from Erik on Helena's family.

If you could, it would be nice to have more information
on Helena's family.

Jean
