OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got some exciting news! So out of desperation I sent off what I knew about my Great Grandpa Louis Boon and Great Grandma Mary Bauwens to the Dickinson County Michigan Rootsweb email group and GUESS WHAT?! I got an email from a group member that had info on the families INCLUDING where they lived in Belgium! This person lives in Belgium so he can do research in the area that mine lived in. I think our families married into each other or something but he's not directly related.

As far as I can tell William and Frederick are distant…

My Titanic Connection
My grandpa Boone's parents came over from Belgium in the 1890's and I'd known for awhile that the family went back to Belgium in May 1912 and returned in June on the Antwerp. I'd always thought that they went over to see family but I found out from my Uncle that even though they did stick around for awhile to visit with the family, they'd actually gone over to retreive the rest of their belongings that their parents couldn't take with them when they first left Belgium and the family…

Another Poem
While looking up my family tree
A horrid sight there I did see
This horse thief stared right down at me

Please stop he called I'm Great Gramp Bob
And horses just my side line job

With the elite I did hob nob
Please do not hide this sad research
I was a pillar of the church
Until I did our name besmirch
And toppled from my lofty… Continue

By the time they arrive back at… Continue
