Locating information in Flawinne, Namur, Belgium isn't easy but I now have a team of three historians actively searching on my behalf - - they are gracious to lend me their expertise and time.

These are the three scenarios that I faced.

Wives who died young giving birth and then husbands marrying a second time with their sister.
Husbands and Wives who married cousins. Husbands who had wives and other women.


I have much information going forward yet, past information from this region is difficult. Amazingly, I connected with my long lost cousin who is descendant of Felix Antoine Rochet Baillard (son of Jean Charles Rochette Sellier). This Jean Charles Rochette Sellier is brother of my great-great-great Cristophe Rochette Sellier. We laughed because dark hair with brilliant blue eyes continued until about 1940 and photos of family members have soooooo many similarities that it's scary.

If you are Rochette or Bartholomy from this region, Flawinne, Nameur, Belgium, please send me a note. If you are Rochette or Rochet from Metz, France, equally send me a note.
