Christian, I have just come across your message of 2004 stating that your family came from Gilly in 1901. My family came from there in 1902, but have left no information after their deaths.
Could you tell me why your family left? Mine came to PA to work in the coal mines. Was it because the coal mines in Belgium were playing out? Was it cultural? Was it economics?
I am going to Belgium in 2009, be the good Lord willing, and am doing some in depth research in the meantime.
Your answers will be most helpful, if you would care to share.
