Brussels racetrack

tjewettglj98 — 19 Dec 2007 1:06:23 GMT

I have been researching a daughter line and found that 3 sisters had all married men from England in the late 1890s. Further investigations revealed that 2 of the 3 men were jockeys. The families lived in Tervuren, a village to the East of Brussels. Was there a horse racing track near Tervuren or in Brussels where the men could have worked in the time period from 1890 to 1910? If anyone knows about the track, could you let me know how I can find out more on the site?

Lambert

otlakerat — 8 Feb 2008 11:03:36 GMT

My Great Grandfather, Joseph Lambert was born in Brussels, Belgium. He married my Great Grandmother Victorine Dewaele. They had my Grandmother, Alice Lambert. My Great Grandfather was killed in 1916 in WWI. I believe his parents were Camille Lambert and his wife's name was Mathilda. I am working on our family history and am at a bit of a road block with their family. During the war my Grandmother, Alice moved to Middelkerke ( Flanders ) to live with HER Grandparents, while her mother stayed in Brussels to work. Any information on their family would be greatly appreciated. It's hard as they all spoke different dialects of the language. My Grandmother came to America when she was 20 years old and her mother remarried to Cyril Feryn. My Grandfather was also from Belgium, but he was from Kortermark ( corermark ). He came over to America when he was very young. His name was Michel Cool, Parents were Joseph and Victorine Cool. They all settled in Lyon County, MN ( Marshall is the town ).

Thank you in advance for ANY information someone may have!

Henri Eloy Joseph LeRoy

brady60 — 13 Aug 2001 6:51:08 GMT

I am trying to find family in Belgium that may be of my ancestors. My g.g.g.grandfather was Henri Eloy Joseph LeRoy of Belgium. He was born in Soignies on 12-1-1787 and died there on 1-4-1865. His obituary mentions family names such as Marouse, Francios,Bourdeaux,Bouilliava,DeBacker, L'Ecluse, Bosteela, Moyson and DePage. My g.g.grandmother was Albine LeRoy;b.1825;married a Jules Edward Brady(American name). Do not know his true surname and Brady is not mentioned in the obituary. Maybe one of the names listed above could be his true surname. Henri LeRoy was a doctor of great distinction and was a member of the Academy of Science. Dr. LeRoy was descended from one of the first families of Belgium. He was filled with honor and national credit the most exalted positions in his native city of Soignies, where he reached the very apex of distinction in his chosen profession of medicine. When still in the prime of his life, he was made the recipient of the much coveted m "Croix de fer." Afterwards he was decorated by the Belgium Monarch with the order of "Knoght of Leopold."

I have a general question regarding death certificates and if one such certificate (Ruien 03.11.1724) for Frans Vallaijs would be available from the Brussels Archive, if so, does anyone on this message board have the address and a contact person to order such a document.

I am looking for info on Helene Goossens (could be her middle name). She was born Feb. 17, 1883 in Belgium (all I know) and died Aug. 8, 1959 in Detroit, MI. She married Theophiel Ryckaert in St. Joseph Co., IN on Sept. 16, 1905. I have postcards from Brussells dated 1931 and signed Gustave & Valentine Goossens (spelled 'Goessen'). I've been looking for over a year. I'm thinking that Helene must've been her middle name, as I can't find anything about her. I know she existed because I remember her; she was my great-great grandmother. Can anyone help with info? where to look in Belgium? ANYTHING?

Thanks in advance.
