I am researching my mothers side of the family. Her mother was Oscarine Emily Deridder,born in 6/19/1895 in Belgium to Levine and Marie Francoise(Merchand) Deridder. Levine was born 10/1/1867 in Belgium and died 4/4/1909 in Cherokee Co. Ks. and is buried in Hosey Hill Cem. in Weir,Ks. Marie was born 9/22/1870 in Belgium and remarried after Levine passed on. She died in Ringo Ks.6/27/1940 and is buried in Girard,Ks.I belive my grandmother and her sister,Lidye,were the only children to be born in Belgium.Is there a place called Rhue? This,I am told,is where they lived. Frank,Oscar,and Sylvain were born after the family came to the U.S. in 1696. If you are part of, or have info. on this family,please e-mail me barbie@icok.net
Thanks,Barbara
