There was 3 brothers, Eddie, Tom and Jim. They were all into cycling. Eddie was the Vince Lombardi of cycling though.
He developed and nutured many great racers.

Eddie married a lady named Mima. There is still one son "Billy" remaining who resides in Ormskirk Merseyside.

Re: any soens family members

SueAllen6281 — 2006-12-31 02:01:11Z

Hello, I'm not sure if we've corresponded in the past or not (definitely possible). My maiden name is SOENS. Here is my direct SOENS lineage as far back as I know it:

Franciscus SOENS died 1/16/1793, Hulste, Belgium. He was married to Elisabeth VERBEKE, who died 4/20/1796 in Hulste. They had a son, Guillielmus SOENS. I do not know whether they had other children.

Guillielmus SOENS died 10/27/1830 in Kortrijk, West Flanders, Belgium. His wife, Maria Josepha VERSCHOORE, died 6/6/1831 in Kortrijk. They had at least two children, Petrus Franciscus SOENS (see below) and Ida Coleta SOENENS, born 3/11/1810 in Kortrijk, died 1/7/1852 in Heule. Ida Coleta married Constantinus DESCHAMPS on 11/3/1836 in Heule.

Petrus Franciscus SOENS was born 6/6/1808 in Kortrijk and died 5/21/1860 in Heule. He married Amelia DEMAZURE (b. 2/6/1814 in Lendelede, d. 8/19/1871 in Heule) on 4/27/1838 in Heule. They had at least 8 children:
* Maria Ludovica SOENS, b. 2/19/1839 in Heule, d. 6/22/1855 in Heule.
* Barbara Theresa SOENS, b. 12/7/1840 in Heule, d. 1/28/1871 in Heule. Married Emile Alphonsus DEWEVER 5/2/1860 in Brugge. (He later also married her sister Victoria Sophia SOENS.)
* Carolus Ludovicus SOENS (see below)
* Adolphus Soens, b. 12/18/1844 in Heule, d. 3/5/1845 in Heule.
* Emilius Adolphus SOENS, b. 11/12/1846 in Heule.
* Maria Philomena SOENS, b. 11/21/1848 in Heule, d. 4/23/1863 in Heule.
* Leopoldus SOENS, b. 1/21/1852 in Heule.
* Victoria Sophia SOENS, b. 1/4/1854 in Heule. On 8/22/1871, she married Emile Alphonsus DEWEVER (widowed husband of her sister Barbara Theresa SOENS who died about 7 months prior).

Carolus Ludovicus SOENS was born 11/30/1842 in Heule and died 10/26/1870 in Heule. On 10/26/1870 in Heule, he married Ludovica DEWAELE, b. 5/6/1846 in Heule, d. 3/28/1936 in Blankenberge. They had 5 known children:
* Elodie Sidonie SOENS was born 4/20/1872 in Heule and died 1/7/1964 in Blankenberge. On 1/31/1894 in Heule, she married Josephus Aloysius CLAERBOUT (b. 3/19/1866 in Kuurne, d. 6/9/1936 in Blankenberge).
* Camiel Cyriel Joseph SOENS, b. 8/20/1874 in Heule.
* Leopold SOENS, b. 9/9/1875 in Heule, d. 8/9/1932 in Kortrijk. On 10/23/1906 in Heule, he married Marie Flavie BOUTEN, b. 9/22/1866 in Beselare, d. 4/1/1934 in Kortrijk.
* Henri Joseph SOENS, b. 12/26/1877 in Heule, d. 12/21/1968 in Rochester, Michigan, USA. On 4/2/1913 in Belgium (town unknown) he married Alida E. DEVLAMINCK (b. 5/22/1884 in Belgium, d. 9/18/1972 in Romeo, Michigan, USA).
* Prosper SOENS, b. 2/28/1880 in Heule, d. 2/17/1952 in Detroit, Michigan, USA. On 9/10/1900 in Bissegem, Belgium, he married Marie Louise BEAUFORT (sometimes spelled BAFORT), b. 4/24/1881 in Roubaix, France, d. 1/20/1964 in Detroit, Michigan, USA. They had 4 children. Prosper and Marie Louise later divorced and she remarried several times but neither had children with any others that I know of:
* Odiel Joseph SOENS (see below)
* Odila M. SOENS, b. 8/15/1902 in Belgium, d. 1/1/1989 in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan, USA. Married Gerard CLAEYS. Subsequently married Rene DUDAL. Had one child with Gerard CLAEYS, Robert Albert CLAEYS, who died as a teenager.
* Charles Louis SOENS, b. 6/7/1904 in Belgium, d. 2/23/1988 in Roseville, Michigan, USA. Married 4 times. One son, living.
* Caroline Alphonse SOENS, b. 3/23/1906 in Heule, d. 8/15/1993 in Sylvania, Ohio, USA. Married 10/22/1927 to Ralph VANNESTE. Two daughters, both living.

Odiel Joseph SOENS, my grandfather, was born 12/16/1900 in Bissegem, Belgium and died 2/8/1983 in Utica, Michigan, USA. On 1/27/1922 in Detroit, Michigan, he married my grandmother, Mary Louise BAEKELANDT, who was born 1/23/1901 in Lendelede, Belgium and died 1/29/1954 in Detroit, Michigan. They had 6 children. Three died in infancy. The other 3 are all living. Mary Louise and Odiel Joseph divorced about 1948-1949. Odiel Joseph married twice more, with no children from his subsequent marriages.

If there appears to be a link between our families, please contact me.

Warm regards for a healthy, happy 2007!

My name is Joan and I am the sister of Ken and Cheryl who posted the name Soens - My sister Linda Soens (now Brewer) all live in Brisbane and my other sister Beryl Soens (now Ley) lives on the Gold Coast.

Our Dad William Soens, known as Bill, also lives on the Gold Coast - He was born on 30/05/1917 in Liverpool - His father was John William Soens who was born in 1894. He was the eldest of 9 children - all born in Liverpool -

We were born in Liverpool with the exception of Linda who was born in Southampton after we all moved to Southampton.

I also received correspondence from Muriel den Heyer who's Grandfather was Edward James Soens born on 14/06/1868 who was the son of Thomas Soens born onin 1893.

I replied to her giving her the family tree as far as we had been able to go but I didn't receive a reply from her - she lives in Merseyside Liverpool.

Ron, Steve, Stephanie or Cheri in Colorado

I am looking for either Ron, Steve, Stephanie or Cheri Soens.

They were like family to me when I lived in Colorado (Arvada) in the 70's, before I moved back to Texas.

They had lived with their mother and stepfather, then all four moved in with their father right before we moved. I spoke to Stephanie once after they moved and lost contact.

I have thought about them over the years, and wonder how they all are now.

If anyone sees this and would want to contact me, either respond to this message or E-mail at Brad Smith Artist @cs.com.

Thanks!

According to the Bureau of Land Management website (http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/search/search.asp), Peter Soens purchased land from the government in Lenawee County, Michigan in 1831, 1835, and 1837. On the 1831 purchases, his residence is listed as Livingston County, NY. Good luck!

I am looking for a connection with the family of Anthony J Soens who was born in Illinois about 1873, married Mary (Mamie A.) Potts in 1897 and had a daughter Mary Lois who was born about 1899 in Cook County, IL. Mary Lois married Clarence Cunningham in 1919 in Denver, Colorado. I believe Mary died before 1930 as Clarence's wife in the 1930 census is named Oma. I'd like to make contact with anyone having knowledge of Mary Soens Cunningham. Thanks.
