Surnames: Huybrecht Huybrechts VanLoo VanLooy
My ancestors emigrated from Belgium about 1857 and settled in Wisconsin, USA. I haven't been able to trace their emigration or birthplace in Belgium. I don't know if they were married before leaving Belgium or met and married in the US. The only information I have are their names and birth dates.
Ferdinand Huybrecht, birth 7 Apr 1835; Theressia Maria Van Loo (or Looy) birth 8 Apr 1843. My mother was told that Theressia was Flemish. The US Census records indicate their language as Flemish. In the 1870 Census Ferdinand's mother, Anna, was with them so she emigrated also.
The family lived in the Green Bay area for many years, many still do.
I am completely stuck at this point and hope someone can help me make some progress. Thank you, Elizabeth
