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.
