Genealogies of Belgian Families with emigrants
- Genealogical data concerning Belgian emigrants and their family in Belgium and/or abroad. researchers, subscribed to the BELGIUM-ROOTS list, can post those on the list. If they mention it explicitly, those data will be uploaded within the month on the BELGIUM-ROOTS site. See this page for the more detailed guidelines and a list of reseachers who did already post some genealogies.
Belgian Surname Lists (grouped by territorial entity)
Some researchers can post their surnames lists on this site, in order to exchange or collect more info about those data.
Those already present on the site are:
- Waasland
- The surnames of the Waasland Emigrant Database of Georges Picavet
- We will accept them only if:
- - the group of surnames is more or less within the focus of our project
- - the list is too large for the Resident Roll Call
- - they are focused within a specific Belgian area
External database sites
Genealogical data is collected on the sites of Worldconnect, etc ... .
We will put a general link to databases on those sites, if the submitter explicitly mentions the URL of his database on one or more of these sites. And that database does contain one or more Belgian emigrants.
And also a link to the relevant page of the web site of the researcher.
