Hello Barb
a great thanks for your help. The Camille Lievens from uitkerke isn't the one I'm searching for. He is from Sint Amandsberg - I found him on the Ellis Island files and my parents had some contact with him and his son before 1960.
We know that they had a son ROBERT born in 1912 in Belgium who came with them to East Moline in 1914. We also known that there is an other Robert F Lievens (problably son of Robert 1912) – he was born in 1932 and died on 1/119/1998 in East Moline – he was a pilot at the US Air Force. He was buried on Rock Island National Cemetry. We have a picture of him in the family album when he was young!!!

Maybe you know some people in New Moline who have contacts with relatives of Robert Lievens

We would be very grateful if you could help us.

Of course we will help you too if you have questions of relatives in Belgium – Europe Ruddervoorde is not so far away and I often examine the national archives so please give me a full name of your Flemish - Belgian ancestor
