Im searching for a way to get marriage information on my great grandfather and great grandmother.
This is the information I have at this moment:
Emma Heye born Oct 3 1882 in
Ursel Belgium My great grandfather's information is very sketchy at best. I have located a ship log from ellis island stating If I have the two correct person. Which I believe with all my heart I do..
Jules (
Julius)37 and Emma
Claeys 27 came to
America going to South Bend,
Indiana Which Jules listed as going home. They came to port on Jun 13 1910 from place of residence Aalter Belgium.
Also listed was that Jules had come to
America in 1892.
So what I want to locate is information on him. I have his death date and I know from what I see on the age from 1910 that he was born in the year 1872. I have no information on him. I am trying to see if I can find a marriage certificate when Emma and Jules (julius) got married to locate my great grandfathers birth records and parents. I am the last one with the
Claeys surname in our family and so I would love to locate any living or non living relatives or information.
My Grandparents had two children. My grandfather
Julius C.Claeys in South Bend,
Indiana in 1911 and also had a daughter Clarice Im not to sure of her date of birth. Still doing that search.
I just hope someone can send me in the right direction or perhaps knows of anyone who may..
One other question Where does the Surname Heye come from? is that a Belgian name>?
I know this was lengthy and I appoligize and thank anyone for any help they may offer..
Sincerely,
Genna Claeys-Stafford
South Bend,
Indiana
