Ik onderzoek mijn Belgische voorouders die uit Brussel komen. Ik weet dat mijn grootvader Louis Pierre Joseph Verdeyen was b. 24/1/1891, en ik geloof dat mijn overgrootvader Joannes Amandus Edmondus Verdeyen kan zijn b. 1853/05/02. maar ik kan de twee niet verbinden. Kan dit forum mij überhaupt helpen? Ik zou dankbaar zijn voor elk advies. Ik heb gekeken naar het Belgisch Nationaal Archief en heb met het Belgische leger gecommuniceerd over mijn grootvader WW1-service-alraedy. Ik krijg geen toegang tot het censusrapport van 1900 in Brussel. Vriendelijke groeten. Martin Verdeyen

Bedankt, Peter B, Uw antwoord heeft me veel imformatie gegeven die ik eerder niet had. Het zal me een tijdje duren om alles door te nemen. Ik ga proberen om je dit antwoord in het Nederlands te sturen, maar dat werkt misschien niet. Ik zou graag verder corresponderen als ik de kans heb gehad om door te gaan naar wat je me hebt gegeven. Nogmaals heel erg bedankt, Martin Verdeyen

Hello again Peter B.

You are doing all the work for me, and I am very grateful. Will I be able to access the records you are looking at or not. I have tried putting the names you have given me on different searches I can do but havn 't yet found any of them..

Can I correspond with you directly by email or is that not allowed. Are  you in Belgium or elsewhere?

Thanks again .

Martin Verdeyen

If you click on the brown underlined text 'here' in Peter's messages, the records will open on familysearch directly. You might have to register first, if you have not done so before, and login.

Hello again Peter B,

Sorry to keep bothering you, but I have a couple of questions you can probably answer.

Are Jacques Edmond Verdeyen and Jacobus Edmondus Verdeyen the same person? Are Peeter Jan Verdeyen and Petrus Joannes Verdeyen the same person?

I think they are but would like to be sure.

Thanks again,

Martin Verdeyen.

correct, you'll find dutch, french and latin versions of the same names in Belgian records

Thank you again Peter B.

Martin Verdeyen
