Welcome! My name is Jan Williams (Marchand)

I have been researching my Belgian heritage for some time and decided to post it on the web to see if there are others who may be researching the same names. I was born in Michigan, USA, however, my blood line is 100% Belgian - West Flanders to be exact. I have some wonderful old pictures and I hope that you enjoy them.

I am going to start with my Belgian heritage on my mother's side first as that is where I have done the most research.

My mother's name was Gabrielle Renilda Baetens known to everyone as Godelieve Baetens.
