LindaLMartell — 19 Feb 2008 6:10:37 GMT

I am trying to work on my family tree and I am looking for connections to the following:
1. Benjamin Simon Alexis Girard - Belgium Father of Gilbert & Marie Elise.
2. Admandine Ernestine Peschard or Pechard - Belgium - Mother of Gilbert & Marie Elise.
3. Gilbert Girard - Charleroi Belguim - Brother of Marie Elise Girard.
The family migrated to NS sometime early 1900's but returned to Belgium a few years later. They had something to do with wines...farm - grapes or making wine. Elise Marie stayed in NS with her own family.

Looking for Information About My Great Grandparents

LKittsB — 4 Feb 2008 6:25:46 GMT

My great grandmother, Elizabeth Orlea, was born in Belgium 01 FEB 1858. I believe she was born in Mons or Frameries, Hainaut. She married Louis Duez or Dewey in Belgium; however, I do not know the date or place. They had two daughters, Rosa Catherine, 11 NOV 1876, and Louise, 01 Mar 1880, but I do not know where in Belgium they were born. The family left Antwerp in NOV 1882 on the SS Waesland and arrived in New York on 13 NOV 1882. On the ship with them was their friend, Alfred Joseph Jamotton, also from Belgium. The two men were coalminers. All five people settled in Pocahontas, Virginia, where in 1884, Louis Duez was killed in a mine explosion. In 1885, Elizabeth Orlea Duez married Alfred Joseph Jamotton, and I am descended from this marriage. Where should I try to find birth, marriage, and emmigration records for these people in Belgium?

LeClerq / LeClair / Godard

Terry Crowe White — 2 Mar 2006 8:28:12 GMT

My paternal grandmother was one of the American-born children of Louis Joseph Leclerq (June 1856) and Desire Godard (July, 1856-June 1944). Louis emigrated from Charleroi, Hainaut, via Antwerp to Charleroi, Pennsylvania in 1892, arriving in Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. 18, 1892 aboard the Red Star Line's ship "Switzerland." Desire' and four children, Catherine (Katie, 1881-1969); Julia (1886-1976); August (1888-1967); and Manuel (Emanuel? 1890-1963) remained in Belgium awaiting the birth of their fifth child, Josephine (1893-1919.) Desire' arrived at Philadelphia aboard the Red Star Line's "Illinois," 18 May 1893. The ship's manifest gives their last address in Belgium as Landeleis. Six more children were born after their move to the US - Delphine (1894-1981); Augusta Marie (1896-1993, my grandmother); Joseph (1898-1987); Victoria (1900-1993); Arthur (1901-1987); Paul (1903-1987). I would appreciate any information anyone can provide about the family in Belgium, especially about the parents and any siblings of both Louis (who was called Joseph) and Desire'. Oral history of the family (here in the States) has it that there is also a family connection to a now defunct silk maker or trader in the Hainaut area, though I don't whether his or hers, if that information could be useful in identifying the proper lineage. Thank you, anyone and everyone, for any assistance you can offer.

Antoinette Joseph Bartholome

Ellen Skramstad — 25 Jan 2006 4:38:57 GMT

I would like to find the Bartholome parents of my Great Great Grandmother and also any other children this couple may have had.

Antoinette Bartholome (born Feb. 9th, 1818 in Ragnies) married Antoine Molle (born Dec. 17, 1823 in Gosselies) and had three children I am aware of: Constant Joseph Molle, born Feb. 10th, 1839 in Ragnies, Zoe Sidonie Joseph Molle. born Sep. 3, 1853 in Gosselies, and my Great Grandfather, Desire Alexandre Molle, born Sept. 13, 1857 in Gosselies. Since my family is Catholic I assume there had to be other children because of the gaps between the three siblings.

Thank You,
Ellen Skramstad

1570 family deRochemont

BAmirault — 22 Sep 2003 3:24:49 GMT

Hi I am reseaching my family that orginated from what was once Tournay, French Flanders. I have a booklet from a gathering of the deRochemont family in Aug. 1866, which honors those that came before.

From the booklet it states "that nothing but home-tradition fixes the existence at the time of the religious troubles in France, in 1750, which fact argue its previous existence."

"they were a Catholic family, and noble, as indicated by the prefix "de" which localizes the name. The Barons of Rocky Mountain, were undoubtedly a very respectable people;and though the title Baron has not attended the branch of the family that found its way to this country, barrenness has not been one of its failings".

It states that "the family seceded from the Catholic religion and became a Huguenot minister." "At the time of the massacre & when the religious climate in France became too warm to be agreeable-not wishing to be a cold chop or a broil- he left his home and went to French, Flanders, now Belgium for security." I have a birth of Maximillian John deRochemont our first immigrant to America born: Tournay, French Flanders, September 24, 1781. Where can I find information on this family? I'd grately appreciate any help & thank anyone who can be of any help.

LECLAIR/GADOUR CHARLEROI

Terry Crowe White — 13 Nov 2004 11:04:35 GMT

I am searching for information about the families of my grandparents. My paternal grandmother was Augusta Marie LeClair, a daughter of Louis Joseph LeClair and Desiree Gadour, who immigrated to Charleroi, Pennsylvania, United States from Charleroi, Hainault, Belgium sometime between the birth of their daughter, Josephine in August 1891 in Belgium, and 1894, when their daughter Dolphine was born in Pennsylvania. Other children born in Belgium were Catherine (1883), Julia (1886), Arthur (1887?), August (1888) and Manuel (1890). My grandmother used to tell us about her grandmother, who still lived in Belgium, being killed during World War I at the age of 116. I believe her name to have been Josephine Goddard Gadour? My grandmother said that when her grandmother died, the King and Queen attended her funeral, and that she had been the oldest woman in Belgium at the time.

M. Granado — 12 Oct 2004 3:45:36 GMT

I'm looking for information about WAFLAR surname. There are some people with this surname in the provinces of Huelva, Cádiz and Seville (Andalusia, Spain). I'd like to know where is it from, since I supose this isn't a spanish surname.
My ancestors were:
MANUEL SANCHEZ-TOSCANO WAFLAR (my mother grandfather), born in Niebla (Huelva) circa 1886. Dead in Puerto Real (Cádiz) on 1936. His brothers: Francisco, José Luis, Elisa, Margarita, Aurora, Rómulo y Remo.
They were all children of:
ELISA WAFLAR JIMÉNEZ, born in Niebla (Huelva) circa 1850 and dead in Ronda (Málaga) circa 1935.
Any help would be very grateful.
Greetings.

Looking for information on Boens/Jouniaut family 1790's

Tom Gerber — 30 Aug 2004 1:05:12 GMT

Pere Pierre Joseph Boëns, Mere Marie Claire Jouniaut
Their children:
Marie Joseph Boens born 1 Aug 1792 place??
Frances Joseph Oct. 26, 1796 Charleroi
Rosalie Joseph March 22, 1798 Charleroi
Jeanette Joseph June 13, 1800 Charleroi

We have various family stories about their daughter Marie - who fell in love with a German soldier and ran away to marry him. Some stories say she was a princess, other says she hide Johann in an oven to keep her brothers from killing him and others say they swam across a river to escape her family so they could be married.

Johan Grohs was born in Churpfalz and died in Tweelbake, Oldenburg Germany. We could not find Marie's death record there.

We don't know for sure where Marie was born.

We found her siblings on microfilm of Tables of births in Charleroi.

Thx

Shelly Stewart — 22 Aug 2004 2:01:56 GMT

Looking for info on my great grandmother Augusta Victoria DeBille born March 24, 1900 in Strepy-Bracquegies (Charleoi).
A sister also born the same place Marie Louisa DeBille, born 07/06/1898. Also had another sister Juliette born 1902 (place unknown).Parents Joseph DeBille and Ferdinande Augustine Mayaur/Mayeux.
The father, Juliette and Augusta left around 1908/1909 and headed for Canada. The mother had to stay behind because she had an open sore and was not permitted to board the ship. Louisa stayed behind to look after the mother who was pregnant at the time.
Augusta Victoria went on to marry on Oct.23, 1923 in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. She married Louis Buncholl/Bodechon. Louis died in March 15, 1967 in Minto, New Brunswick Canada. His death certificate states he was born in Belgium (suspect Liege) on Oct. 21, 1895. Parents Louis Bodechon (born France) and Josephine Petrie (born Belgium).
Louis Jr. was to believe to of left Belgium around 1913. Family story has it he left a wife and six kids in Belgium. My grandmother remembers the kids writing to him in Minto, New Brunswick Canada.He was possibly wanted by the law. He had a half brother named Gustaf Bodechon who also came to Canada. All of the family memebers language was French.
Any help would be greatly appreciated even the correct spelling of surnames.

Looking for Misson, Dumont, Edwards, Barban, & Everett Families of Charleroi

JaniceTrumbell — 27 Oct 2003 8:18:26 GMT

I am trying to find anyone researching or connected to these families from the Charleroi area.

Phillip Misson born about 1800 married Theresa Everett

children: Victor Joseph born 9/13/1833 born in Charleroi
Dieu Done born 1828
Julian born 1835

Victor studied interior decorating and art at the University in Charleroi and by the mid 1860's was a noted religious artist in Belgium. He had done much work for the churches. I suspect fresco painting. He immigrated to the United States in 1890 with wife and 3 children. When Victor died in 1928, his brother Dieu Don and sister, Julian were still living in Belgium. Dieu Don had past his 100th birthday and Julian was 93 years old.

Victor married Marie Edwards about 1860 in Belgium. She was born 10/19/1840 in Belgium to Phillip Edwards and Marian Barban. Her parents were from Belgium.

Victor and Marie had 7 children and to my knowledge only 3 moved to the United States with them in 1890's. So all others would have died in Belgium. Their children were:

1. Achille M. born 4/12/1871 in Belgium married in the United States
2. George Maurice or Morris born 8/1882 in Belgium
3. Alina born 3/1864 in Belgium and married Arthur Doumont in Belgium and both immigrated in 1890 to United States.

The families of Victor Misson and Arthur Doumont settled in Butler, Pennsylvania from 1890 to about 1910, then they both moved to Ohio.

If anyone can help with these families, I would be extremely grateful!

J'ai deja la reste de son lignee a partir de Joannes Muylaert M.1721 a Barbara Dubar.
J'ai crois que lui a mariee sa femme, Philomene Goossens (1862-1926), a Gilly ou les environs entre 1880-1883. Ces deux freres etait la avant 1880 comme houilleurs, son frere Benoit meme a marie a Gilly le 1873-10-25 avec Maria Debauche (fille de Isidore & M.Rose Gerlache).
Dans le famille Debauche, une soeur, Hortense, a marie le 1875-2-27 a Gilly avec une Dominique Goossens. J'ai crois qu'il etait parent avec Philomene, mais il ma manque le mariage avec Gustave que j'ai besoin.
J'ai recherche tout renseigment sur les Muylaerts dans le Hainaut pour la period apres 1870.
You can also write to me in English if you have any information on these families that were coal-miners.

La famille HENEBIENS

Berry Henebiens — 22 Nov 2001 6:06:39 GMT

Cher/chère généalogiste,

Depuis des années déjà je suis à la recherche de la généalogie de la famille HENEBIENS ( Hennebiens ).
Malheureusement mes recherches se trouvent dans une impasse.

Dans les archives de la ville de Namur, en Belgique, j'ai trouvé le plus ancien Henebiens: le 10 janvier 1723 Paul Henebiens s'est marié avec Marie Anne Pintacorale dans l'église de St. Jean l'Evangéliste.

Je n'arrive pas à retrouver les origines de ce couple mais je suis presque sûr que Paul Henebiens n'est pas né à Namur.

Aussi voudrais-je vous prier de jeter un coup d'oeil dans les archives belges et/ou françaises afin de trouver de nouvelles traces de la famille Henebiens ( ou Pintacorale ).

Il va sans dire que je serai prêt à rendre service à mon tour dans les archives néerlandaises.

Mes remerciements anticipés de votre assistance.

Joseph died in Belgium and Josephine's second husband was named August Maison. They all came to the U.S. in approximately 1887. Any information will be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Liz
