I am looking for my Grandfather's family history.

He was born in Oostende in 1905 (date noted on his obituary) or 1907 (date noted on ship's manifest). He travelled with his Mother, Elisa (nee Van Thournout) and Sister, Alice aboard the SS Hannover in April 1913, from Rotterdam, Netherland to Portland, Maine, on his way to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The ship's manifest noted Elisa's Father as Wm Van Thournout and listed a friend as August Degryse. Elisa remarried in 1915 in Canada to Louis Van Roose and they had one son, Valere in 1916.

Any help you could give would be much appreciated.
