Camille Helsens was my great grandfather. His father's name may have been Jean. He also had brothers Jean and Gerard. I am looking for family history. Camille was born 3/27/1888 in Alsace Lorraine France and the family went to Belgium when he was 3 months old. He was raised in Belgium and came to Philadelphia.

I am researching Silvie Marie Gevaert born in 1859 who married Christophe Jean Helsens born 1860. We have identified at least four children: Jean born 1883, Camille born 3/27/1888, Gerard born ?, and Jacob born 4/10/1894. They were born in Nord France but were raised in Belgium. Camille, Jean and possibly Gerard emigrated to Philadelphia from Antwerp Belgium in 1909. There are at least two other sons and one daughter that we have not yet identified. We would welcome any contacts! Sandy
