Surnames: D'haenens, Dhaenens
My grandparents, Charles and Helena (Lambert) Dhaenens came to Moline, Illinois from Deinze, Belgium in the early, early 1900s. I know my grandfather (Charles) had brothers and sisters, but have very little information on them. Anybody have some more info?

J'ai retrouvé dans les papiers de ma grand-mère une carte postale venant de Charles et Helena DHAENENS envoyée à Melle DHAENENS Camille qui était mon arrière-grand-mère.
Peut-être avons-nous des ancêtres en commun.
Contactez moi à l'adresse ci-dessus

I don't have much information except that my grandfather (Charles) was from Deinze. His father's name was Victor and his mother was Eugenie. My grandfather had a sister named Marie. I do not know of any other brothers or sisters--it is possible there were others. They lived in a house near St. Bartholomew Church. They lived upstairs above a store or shop of some kind. I have been to Belgium (in 1998) and have seen the building. Charles married Helena Lambert at St. Bartholomew Church in 1902 or 1903. My grandparents left Belgium to come to the United States in 1905 or 1906. They settled in Moline, Illinois -- a place where many Belgium immigrants made their home.

There is at least one other family member that I know of living here in the States--she is the daughter of Marie Dhaenens and A. Van Loo from Wisconsin. Her name is Sr. Alice Van Loo (formerly Sr. Paschaleen). Sr. Alice is in her 90s by now. She had brothers named Henry, Bill and Morris. I think Henry (Hank) might still be living too. Bill and Morris have both died.

My grandparents had three sons--Gaston, Alphonse and Albert. Gaston died as a young boy. Alphonse and Albert were both born in Moline, in 1910 and 1917 respectively. Albert is my father. He died in 2000. Alphonse died in 1995.

Does any of this information match what you might have? Please reply if it does.
