I’m from Belgium and dispose of genealogical tree of the family Depoorter coming from Belgium.
I hope to contact my family still living in the States.
I suppose that several of the persons, sited below, were interested in their roots.
As you can see, I miss some data’s, particularly about the family Pauwels. I remember that my father was in contact with Maria Depoorter by letter.
You can contact me via email: familiedepoorter@hotmail.com
Thanks!
