Van Den Bon/Van De Bon's from Brudges, West Flanders

vanclanzoo — 26 Apr 2007 11:06:10 GMT

Hello,

New to this & am trying to figure out how to find relatives or history of my family.

My great grandfather came to Canada from Belgium. His name was Van De Bon (his father's name was Edward but the obit reads: EDUARD VANDENBON).

He was married to Irma Van Hecke.

My great great grandpa Edward had two (or three?) wives with many children. All would have the last name Van De(n) Bon until they married. Grandpa had siblings with the names: Louie, Henry, August, Maria, Alice, Aresna, Adrianna, Irma & Kamil and I have some of their spouses and childrens names.

Any suggestions or ideas how I would start?

couhysderalice1 — 12 Aug 2008 8:01:33 GMT

Goedemorgen,

Ik ben op zoek naar de geboorte van mijn verre voorvader, ik zou het
zeer op prijs kunnen blijven iets langer (indien mogelijk), maar ik
blijft hangen op zijn geboorte-en ik weet niet van zijn ouders!

Dat is:

Ik ben op zoek naar de geboorte van COUTISER (of COUDYSER) Clement,
geboren rond 1708 waar?

Hij trouwde een eerste maal op 12/08/1739 in Sint Kruis (er wordt
niets over zijn ouders of de geboorte van het besluit) met TABBAERT
Maria (geboren op of en wanneer?, + 28/12/1743 om OLVr3de Brugge)

Hij trouwde een tweede maal op 21/07/1744 in Lissewege met Vanhove
Petronella (in plaats van niets in de wet van het huwelijk) (b.
09/01/1708 om Lissewege, een Lissewege + 03.01.1750)

het verbod werden afgegeven op 05/07/1744 in Uitkerke

Clement overleed op 24/08/1749 in Lissewege op de leeftijd van 41
jaar

Ik denk dat het moet worden geboren in een van de drie gemeenten.

Ik weet niet of de telling er op dat moment?

Ik dank u voor uw hulp

André and Diana Deketelaere in Torhout : looking for the rest of the story!

GenCruiser — 4 Apr 2008 1:11:00 GMT

My grandfather, Heinrich Lohmeyer, served during WW1 as a medical orderly in Flanders - more specifically in Torhout. Among his photographs, I have found a postcard depicting a young couple (André and Diana Deketelaere). On the back of the postcard, both have written and signed a message of great thanks to my grandfather for a great service he had apparently rendered to them. I do not know what service that may have been - it may have been related to his post at the hospital. The postcard was clearly important enough to my grandfather to keep it for all these years. Can you identify André and Diana? They look to be in their early 20's in the attached 1918 photograph. Are they related to you? If so, I would appreciate hearing about any stories that might help me understand what service my grandfather might have rendered to them. I am currently writing a biography about my grandfather and if there was a story from around 1918 that was still remembered in the Deketelaere family around Torhout that might relate to my grandfather, I would be most interested to hear it.

I have attached a copy of the postcard in the hope that it might assist to establish whether there is a link or not - do you recognise the two individuals?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers,
Matt in Sydney, Australia

Re: Jules and Emma Claeys from Aalter Belgium

msflirtalot2001 — 19 Nov 2007 1:02:11 GMT

Im searching for a way to get marriage information on my great grandfather and great grandmother.

This is the information I have at this moment:

Emma Heye born Oct 3 1882 in Ursel Belgium My great grandfather's information is very sketchy at best. I have located a ship log from ellis island stating If I have the two correct person. Which I believe with all my heart I do..

Jules (Julius)37 and Emma Claeys 27 came to America going to South Bend, Indiana Which Jules listed as going home. They came to port on Jun 13 1910 from place of residence Aalter Belgium.

Also listed was that Jules had come to America in 1892.

So what I want to locate is information on him. I have his death date and I know from what I see on the age from 1910 that he was born in the year 1872. I have no information on him. I am trying to see if I can find a marriage certificate when Emma and Jules (julius) got married to locate my great grandfathers birth records and parents. I am the last one with the Claeys surname in our family and so I would love to locate any living or non living relatives or information.
My Grandparents had two children. My grandfather Julius C.Claeys in South Bend, Indiana in 1911 and also had a daughter Clarice Im not to sure of her date of birth. Still doing that search.

I just hope someone can send me in the right direction or perhaps knows of anyone who may..

One other question Where does the Surname Heye come from? is that a Belgian name>?

I know this was lengthy and I appoligize and thank anyone for any help they may offer..

Sincerely,

Genna Claeys-Stafford
South Bend, Indiana

Flanders, Middlekerke and Brussels Belgium

otlakerat1 — 4 Feb 2008 11:55:02 GMT

My Grandmother, Alice Cool was born in Belgium and came to the US when she was 20 years old. She was from Middlekerke. Her mother's name was Victorine Dewaele and her father's name was Joseph Lambert. All I know is that my great grandfather was in WWI and killed in action in 1916. He was a cabinet maker. I don't know much more about him, I believe he had a brother Oscar, two sisters, Maria and Rachele. I believe his father was a shoemaker named Camille Lambert and his mother was Mathilda Lambert. After Joseph died, my Grandmother came over to America with her mother, Victorine and step-father Cyril Feryn. If anyone has any information on this family please let me know. Thank you so much for your time!

Hi!

This is Thomas Haelewyn from Belgium, West Flanders - Torhout
I'm the grandson of Georges Vanderjeugd -he's 82 years now-
In 1927 he moved with his mother to Chatham to join his father who already moved to canada,Ontario in 1926.
In 1933 they moved back to Belgium but some relatives stayed in Chatham-Kent, Ontario
many years, they wrote letters to each other, but lost contact...
On the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid website (http://www.islandnet.com/cgi-bin/ms2/jveinot/search) I already found out that some of my grandfather's family died:

BESELAERE A. Morris St Anthony's Roman Catholic, Chatham Kent Chatham KT-650-8

BESELAERE Elvire M. St Anthony's Roman Catholic, Chatham Kent Chatham KT-650-8
BESELAERE Kit St Anthony's Roman Catholic, Chatham Kent Chatham KT-650-8

my question to you is: is it possible to find out the date of death, if there are relatives still alive?
I know that DICK Beselaere had a daughter: Dana Beselaere with the same age of my grandfather...

I have many pictures letters etc...

I hope to hear you soon, and many thanks in advance!!!

DeMaricourt-DeMeurisse link

Mady — 4 Feb 2006 7:15:14 GMT

This one is for the history buffs as well as mystery lovers in Flanders. I am trying to find where, and when (between 1600 and 1800), a de Maricourt might have lived, either in the Gent or Bruges administrative areas. This is "The mystery" of the family - as it involves a de Maricourt daughter who refused to marry the one her father intended her to, and ended up becoming a Demeurisse. The de Maricourt name seems to be extinct (only 3 individuals in France). One de Maricourt became a Captain of the Compagnie Franches de la Marine in New France, but that is too far removed from the period involved here. Not surprising I have been hitting a brick wall. And there are no family members left to ask, except a 98-year old aunt who is deaf and nearly blind. Which is why my note here. Somebody out there might remember old family-gossip or... be an expert in this sort of loval legends. Every little bit would be very welcome. Thanks.

Locating descendants of Jan Karel Raes in Knokke

drossfam — 14 Jan 2006 3:31:34 GMT

I am also trying to locate the only surviving sibling of my grandfather, Lodewijk Frans Raes. Lodewijk died in the US in 1939, and his obituary indicated his brother, Jan Karel Raes was still alive. The Raes family lived in Knokke since the 1830s so I hope that is where he lived in 1939.
Jan Karel Raes was born 19 Dec. 1872 in Knokke. I have no other information other than he was alive in 1939. Any help anyone can offer in tracing him is greatly appreciated.

Raes and Bernhaert families in Knokke

drossfam — 14 Jan 2006 3:27:36 GMT

I am looking for help locating possible cemeteries or Catholic churches in Knokke associated with my grandparents and their ancestors. Both Raes and Bernahert familes resided in Knokke since about the 1820s. My grandfather, Lodewijk Raes, emigrated with Leona Bernhaert to the US in 1895. Buried somewhere in the Knokke area are his ancestors. His father was Jacobus Frans Raes and his mother was Joanna Schram. I have names of parents and children going back to about 1830 on both sides in Knokke.
I believe both families were Catholic. I hope to visit the area this coming December and would like to locate graves. Can anyone suggest where burials from the 1830s might be in Knokke area, or the local prominent Catholic church?

Well, I am now searching for more information on another of my Grandmother's brothers and his family. His name was Jules De Blaere. I know nothing about him. I do have three pictures of him and it appears he married and had at least 6 children - all girls. It is possible he came to Canada around 1905 - 1915 or to the U.S. and returned to Belgium. My grandmother died when I was 10, so had no one to ask about her family. He would have been the son of Henricus DeBlaere and Maria Ludovica Mortaigne . They lived in Lichtervelde. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please contact me at VBasford@aol.com Thanks. Ginny in Florida USA

Waflar

Hendrik Vandeginste — 26 May 2005 5:11:07 GMT

Suposo que el nombre puede ser un appelido que viene del appelido flamenco "Waffelaert". No soy seguro, pero puede ser. En el siglo 17 y 18 han venido muchos flamencos a Cádiz. Puede ser que también así sus ancestres. Por eso, si te puede dar aviso, llama (o mejor por e-mail) al archivo provincial de Cádiz y pregunta si pueden ver al inventario de los testamentos. Ahí se tienen así muchos appelidos de flamencos. Lo que si pasa, es que puede ser que tus ancestres han venido por Puerto Real, San Fernando,... Si quiere ver todo estas localidades, creo ser mejor que lo visitas en la calle Cristobal Colón.

Mucha suerte,

Church records, Beselare

Chris Wills — 2 Dec 2004 4:06:32 GMT

Seeking a little advice.

I have been doing my research at a Family History Center run by the Church of Latter-Day Saints. They microfilmed the Catholic Church Registers of Beselare, West Flanders, Belgium covering years 1752 to 1793. They also filmed an index to the Church records which covers the whole period: 1616-1808. Since I don't have microfilm access to actual records before 1752 I wonder who has this information and how should I contact them?

I found the address of Sint Martinuskerk in Beselare but I believe this church was only built in the 1920's. The original church was destroyed during World War One. Could the old Church Registers have survived?

The LDS microfilmed the Church Registers at the Arhives of West Flanders in Bruges. Would the Archives also have in their possession the Beselare Church Registers from before 1752?

If I do start writing letters I expect to be at it for some time to come. Would it be acceptable to write in French? (or in English?). Unfortunately, I do not speak Flemish.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
