I am hoping to find some more info on the background of Florian and Augusta / Augustinan VAN SNICK who married about 1906 in Belgium.

As of 1911 Census, they were living in Joggins Mines, NS, having immigrated 1909.

Florian born 1887 Belgium
Augusta / Augustian born 1889 Belgium
Mary born 1907 Belgium
Joseph born 1909 Belgium

They also had another son born Joggins in 1911 who died New Waterford in 1927.

Augusta / Augustian died sometime before May 31 1942 when Florian died in New Waterford, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

I am hoping to perhaps find an Obit for Florian who is buried in Union Grove Cemetery there.

Any help is much appreciated!!

Did you know there was a John Baptist Vansnick who died at Joggins in 1951. He was born at Charleroi Aug 10, 1881 to Pierre VanSnick and Marie Clotilde (Heysman)? He was married to Rosalie (Verrcken)? and they had a son Camile (Comille) Vansnick born in Inverness in 1907.They had another son George also born in Inverness. The family seemed to leave inverness for Joggins. I'm very interested in the Belgians that came to Inverness area in the early 1900s.

Yes, I did find him and his family and at this point, it looks as though Augustinian VAN SNICK that married Florian GANY in Belgium is his sister.

I am doing some research for a descendant that I met a month ago that lives in Ontario and just wanted to try every avenue!

Thanks for this - I might not have already had it :o)

Had you noticed that there were also these other VAN SNICKS in the same area, born around the same time period in Belgium ... in Joggins area?

1] Joseph VAN SNICK abt 1878 marr Marie [nee ROUSSEAU] widow REANT

2] John Baptist VAN SNICK born Aug 10 1881 marr Rosalie Collette VERECKEN [I have 6 children for them at present].

3] August VAN SNICK abt 1888 marr Leonie DE BODT 1918 in River Hebert and his parents were listed as Peter/Mary = Pierre/Marie.

4] Augustinian VAN SNICK born Jun 1889 marr Florian GANY / GAN / GANT abt 1906 and I have 3 children for them with the first 2 born in Belgium before they arrived in 1909 and the 3rd born in Joggins.

This has been challening but loads of fun!
