Surnames: Laquiere /Taghon
My great, great grandfather August Laquiere (Lackiere) emigrated from Wingene, Belgium to the USA around 1905. Three years later in 1908 Celmentine Taghon left Belgium. August and Clementine married around 1908 in Detroit, Michigan. Does anyone know about the Laquiere or the Taghon families in Belgium?

Thanks

Hello Delbert (?),
Yes, August (born Wingene 1880-10-07 the son of Felix and Maria Ludovica Jacob) sailed to the States, first in 1902 on the SS Vaderland, then in 1908 on the SS Zeeland, both times with destination Leesville, Michigan.
He was the 4th of 9 children. His brother Jules also emigrated to the States.
About Clementine I only know what is on the ship's manifest of the SS Zeeland in sept. 1908 : that she was born in Aalter, Belgium, probably in 1884, to Frederik and ?
The funny thing is that August's youngest sister Irma was a friend of my grandmother. She ran a small grocery and bakery shop a block away from our house and as a kid I used to go and buy sniff for my grannie.
I have information about 5 generations of the Laquiere's. Maybe it is better to send it by email?
