Searching for Belgium ancestors
Well here goes:
All I know is my grandfather is from Belgium. Where in Belgium, I have no idea. This is my mothers father and she doesnt know either. This is what I do have:
My grandfather:
Jules Gaston Victor
DOB: Dec. 31 1904 DOD: Jun 10 1971 St. Petersburg, FL
His father:
Henry (Hanore) or (Honore) Victor
Born in 1880
Mother:
Helene Victor (Helen)
Born in 1882
Jules' sister:
Mary Victor Diodati
Born Mar 23 1901
DOD: 1986
They all came over on the RMS Mauretania from Liverpool to NY NY in 1911. Jules was 6 and Mary was 9. They lived in Essex County Mass. for some time. Somehow Jules came to St. Petersburg FL.
Maybe from Rumbeke Belgium?
This is all I have.
If someone out there may be able to help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Baby Steps first! Before we get to Belgium let us figure out England period for the family. Let us collect a little more information first. Helpful if you add Henry and Helene date of death or about the year they died. How long was rhe family in Great Britain? Do they know when they came there from Belgium?
I would suggest setting up a PUBLIC family tree on Ancestry.com and Geneanet.org. Remember to make it Public which is easy on Ancestry one click for the entire family, but Geneanet.org you have to do it with every individual. This will help other's see what you are researching as well as get alerts to matching records. I would not include any living individual personally. Hopefully you may discover and link up with someone has already done some research.
Another useful site is familysearch.org and found this which may or may not be connected.
