Camiel Van Erstvelde arrives in Ellis Island February 20, 1911, aged 28, with wife Marie, aged 27, and child Joseph, 3, previously resident Lembeke, relative at home, mother, Wm Bernard Van Erstvelde (assume it means _Mrs_ Wm Bernard Van Erstvelde), of Heidinge, heading for Victor, Iowa.Headed to brother, Henri Van Erstvelde of Victor, Iowa (none of them had been in the US before), and all were b. Heidinge.
Travelling on the same ship is August Van Erstvelde, 38, who had previously been in the US 1909/1910, in Victor, Iowa, also headed to his brother, Henri, and b. Lembeke.Relative at home, however, is brother Rebus Van Erstvelde.
1930 census index, Poweshiek County, Iowa, has them under the name Van Ewtvelds:
Camiel A, 47
Mary G, 46
Joseph, 21
Julia M, 18
Frank A, 16
Margarete, 14
Arma, 10
Albert, 9
Mary, 7
Also I think this is the brother Henry, under the transcribed name of Vaneravelde (Poweshiek, Iowa again)
Henry Vaneravelde, 52
Mary, 47
Clara, 19
Whilephman, 17 (???on the name)
Frank B, 16
Bruno J, 15
Raymond A, 13
Henry A, 10
John E A, 9
Josephine M, 7
Here is Henry's obituary:

There are other obituaries to be found here:

I think I've found Henry on Ellis Island arriving in 1902 (as per his obituary), as Henry Van Hertvelde, last resident Sleidinge, headed to his brother in law, Louis Van de Woe?yn, Victor, IA.
Both Lembeke and Sleidinge are in Oost Vlaanderen, Belgium, and records have been filmed by the LDS.
