I am researching my g-g-grandfather. Victor Joseph Misson was born in Charleroi,Belgium 9/13/1833 to Phillip Misson and Theresa Everett. In 1928 he still had a brother Dieu Done Misson, age 100 and a sister Julian Misson age 93 still living in Belgium. Victor married Marie Edwards? (per her death certificate) her father was Philp Edwards and mother was Maian Barban. Victor studied art at the university in Charleroi and by 1863 he was devoted to religious art and has worked on many churches in Europe, Brazil and America. Victor, his wife and children immigrated to the U.S. in 1890. He married in Belgium and his children Achille, born 1875, George Morris(Maurice) born 1882 and Alina born 1867 were all born in Belgium. I know Victor and Marie had 7 children but by 1900, only 3 were living and suspect that the ones who did not survive died in Belgium. Alina was married to Arthur Dumont when her parents, siblings and spouse immigrated to America.
If anyone can provide information on these families, I would be very grateful! Would love to find living Misson family members from Charleroi. Thanks. Janice
