Surnames: DHAENENS VERSCHAEVE BETHUNE
This may be a small link to your family tree. I have a MARIE RACHEL DHAENENS 1891-1960 married to my grandfather's cousin, CAMIEL VERSCHAEVE. The family were originally from Ostend, Belgium and many of the VERSCHAEVE and de BETHUNE family members moved to Moline, Illinois (incluidng my grandfather). So the only link I have is that a DHAENENS married a cousin of my grandfathers and although I cannot prove yet that CAMIEL imigrated to Moline his cousin did. An Aunt in the family insists other members of my grandfather's family did imigrate to Moline. I just haven't proved yet it was CAMIEL.

Surnames: Dhaenens-Verschaeve-deBethune
Wow! Thanks for the reply! Interesting...my father's middle name was CAMIEL! So I guess it's possible he was named after his uncle-by-marriage?? Marie would have been my grandfather's sister...and my father's aunt. The birth date of Marie would have been at the right time...my grandfather was born in 1883. I thought they were all from Deinze, though--not familiar with Ostend, as you mentioned. I'll look through my father's things to see if I can find the Verschaeve or deBethune names anywhere. Unfortunately, there's just no one left to ask! We still have relatives in Belgium that we are in contact with, but they're on my grandmother's side, and I don't know that they would have any info on the Dhaenens family. Fun to hear from you--thanks for the post!
