Walter,

In 1905 there was also a Aloïs De Waele, who lived in Moline and worked there
in a foundry. His friend Arthur Gheysen came to him on January 28, 1905 with
the SS Zeeland from Antwerp. Arthur Gheysen from Woumen was a farmer, 35 years
old, spokes Flemish and had 50 Belgian Francs.

Was this Aloïs De Waele related to your GGfather ?

>Your message interested me in that my great grandmother Eugenie TOURLOUSE was
from Woumen. She married Rene DE WAELE in about 1889 and they immigrated to
Moline, IL in May 1892. I noted the similarity in my great grandfather's name
Rene DE WAELE
>and the Rene WALLE mentioned as being in one of your grandparent's pictures
from their photo album. Do you think the similar names is just a coincidence
or could the picture be of my great grandparents?
