"Anna Frances Angles of Belgium" was really Francisca Engels, born 27 Jul 1839 in Denderhoutem, East Flanders, Belgium. She emigrated with her parents, Benedictus Engels and Schollastica Van Mulders and sister Catharina Engels. The latter married Johann-Evangelist Zipfel.
This family was part of a group of families from around Denderhoutem that emigrated to PA in the 1840's-50's. Other families were
-Scholastica's brother Pieter-Amandus Van Mulders, also born in Denderhoutem. He emigrated with his wife Rosalia and son Petrus-Frans Van Mulders. (Van Mulders became Miller over time);
-the family Lievens from Haaltert. Haaltert borders Denderhoutem. Over time, Lievens became Levis in the USA.
I suspect that the De Smet's you mention may have come from the same area in East-Flanders. I will look through the records to see if i can find a match.
Would you happen to know when and where Anna Frances Angles died? And when and where her husband died?
