A combination of french & belgium/dutch-please help

Drea,
My maternal Grandmother is Anna Maria Philapina Van Goethem. She came to the US in 1909 with the family members you listed, as well as her mother Philomena Schelfout/Van Goethem. I have very little on her brothers and sisters. I can give you her decendants. I have nothing of hera ancestry, anything you can give me will be appreciated.

Thank You,
DLVP

Hi, Louis "Lowie" Van Goethem and Philomina Schalfault were my husbands grandparents. She arrived in 1903 with Alphonse. Anna, Joseph,and Leo. Mary, Victor and Leona were born in Norway, Michigan. The family lived their all of their lives. The family home still stands with Leona's son living there.
We have a family site and are also on http://www.ancestry.com.
There is a split over the parents of Lowie? Wonder what information you might have.
My husbands father was Victor.

Hi Bets,
Since I posted this I found Lowie and Philomena's ancestors online. It includes Victor but nothing on his wife or children. I would like to add that to my tree. I also have some info on his brothers and sisters but need more. The stuff I found is at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi...8&id=I34032003 or do a search on Karel Lodewijk Van Goethem, Lowies real name. My e-mail is DLVP@att.net.
