And by family I mean, everybody as from my great-grandparents, Alfons Veulemans and Pelagie Pittomvils downwards.
This reunion took place on March 22, 2009 and was a great success.
My curiosity is aroused and since I now have (almost) all facts (names, adresses and dates of birth / death) about this family, I feel the urge to widen my scope to two additional questions:
- What story does this tree tell me? Who are the people behind it? All but one (my grandmother, widow of Paul Veulemans) of this generation have past away and so it is time to capture the stories of these lives before they are gone forever...
- What can I find out about my ancestors? How do we fit with other Veulemansen? And how about these American families: Velman and Veuleman. I did found some bits and pieces but I hope to glue them together with this research...
My husband is descended from Veuleman family of Glasbeek, Belgium. do you have any of your ancestry on line??
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHi TeaLady, sorry for the late response... I've had my ancestery online but due to some privacy issues, I got it off again.. Temporary, until I find the time again to clean it up...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNevertheless, I think you've found Denise Kruta too and she has published a whole bunch of data on her website.. We have figured out so far we are 'related'... http://denisekruta.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/veulemans-family-history-from-belguim-to-america/
She will be coming to Belgium in a week so I hope we can manage to put all the bits and pieces together. Up until now, I was not able to found a Veuleman(s)/Velman that is NOT related to those coming from Glabbeek, so I'm very interested in your story too!
I'll come back to you as soon as I have more news or when i've published my ancestory again.
Thanks for the interest!
Hello, I'm not sure if this is Lies blog. I hope Denise Kruta met up with everyone and brings interesting information back to the US
