Where We Come From In Belgium



Our family comes from the Walloon Brabant province in Belgium.  (Pictured in the middle of the country, here, in light orange.)

The Provinces of Belgium

Some of the other areas may sound familiar--  There are towns in Wisconsin called Namur, Brussels, Luxemberg, and even Belgium.

 
Here is a map of just Walloon Brabant.  Most of our ancestors were born in Grez-Doiceau, or just Grez.



This is an old postcard image of Grez-Doiceau.  I don't know what year this is from.
