Needing basic background on Goffinet name in Belgium

I have finally pinpointed our Goffinet ancestor to a Frank Goffinet born Nov 1838 in Belgium. He came to the USA about 1873 with a wife named Victoria. She was born in the mid-late 1840's. They settled in Marion Co, KS. They had 11 children with only 6 living by 1900.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to pursue them any farther back into Belgium?

Hi:

My mother is a Goffinet from Belgium. Her mother's name was Clementine Villance and was married to Auguste Goffinet. I have been trying to get more information. They would have died in early 1950's. My mother was born there in 1920 from Neufchateu. I am wondering if there is any relationship.

I sure wish I could tell you if there is a relation but I just don't know. At this point I still have no idea exactly where in Belgium our Goffinet family came from.
