My ancestors emigrated from Belgium about 1857 and settled in Wisconsin, USA. I haven't been able to trace their emigration or birthplace in Belgium. I don't know if they were married before leaving Belgium or met and married in the US. The only information I have are their names and birth dates.
Ferdinand Huybrecht, birth 7 Apr 1835; Theressia Maria Van Loo (or Looy) birth 8 Apr 1843. My mother was told that Theressia was Flemish. The US Census records indicate their language as Flemish. In the 1870 Census Ferdinand's mother, Anna, was with them so she emigrated also.
The family lived in the Green Bay area for many years. Ferdinand (Fred) and Theressia operated a saloon and farm, one of their sons, William, owned/operated Huybrecht’s Continental Store until about 1943. They had 10 children, 8 that lived into adulthood.
I am completely stuck at this point and hope someone can help me make some progress. Thank you, Elizabeth
