Belgium Immigrants in America

This look up offer was sent from Georges Picavet from Belguim.

Good evening!

I am writing to you from Belgium, Europe

Since April 1994, I am doing research on the emigrants from the Waasland, an area in Flanders, Belgium, west of Antwerp, to the United States and Canada between 1830 - 1950. En route I am also helping out any other Belgian descendant in North America looking for her/his Roots here.

At present I have identified some 2,500 emigrants from the Waasland, but I have information on tens of thousands of Belgian emigrants. My web site at http://www.ping.be/picavet contains much more information, including:

• thousands of NAMES of Belgian emigrants;
• hundreds of passenger SHIPS (mainly from Antwerp);
• a complete list of all PLACES in Belgium with their districts, province, ZIP-code, telephone area code, and not unimportant in Belgium: the official language;
• TRANSLATIONS of vital records from Dutch to English;
• a Complete GUIDE on how to look for your Belgian roots;
• some HISTORY of Belgium, Flanders, and the Waasland;
• a list of hundreds of US ARMY UNITS and thousands of surnames of AMERICAN SOLDIERS decorated by Belgium after WW2;
• articles about GENEALOGY, GENEOLOGY AND ANDRAGOGY.
