Relatives in Belgium

[vanlaeken]

I live in New York State, USA and I am looking to locate relatives of mine in Belgium.I don't have much to go on but my grandfather immigrated to the USA around the year 1918. His name was Adiel Van Laeken. His wifes maiden name was Mary Van Collie and she had a brother named Achiel. Looking for anyone with these surnames or anyone knowing of anyone with these surnames. Please send correspondence to e mail address vanlaeke@fltg.net. My name is Thomas Van Laeken. Thanks in advandce for your help.

thomas, i live in the united states, but i grew up in belgium, and belgium is a VERY small country. i strongly believe you should take a trip there, as it will be easier to find out about your relatives. no one in belgium ever moves from their original homes....atleast most people dont.
