PIERQUET & MATHIEU Families in Walshoutem
Seeking any information on these two families.My great grandpearnets were Jacobus and Maria Catherine (Mathieu) Pierquet.They emigrated to Wisconsin - USA in 1883 or 1884 with their first 4 children.I have most of the information on them after arrival in the USA but very little on their extended families that remained in Belgium.I would like to chat eith anytone who might have additional information or who could tell me where in Belgium I might look to find the exact date they emigrated and the name of the ship.Family lore says they left in December of 1883 and arrived at the port of New York in January of 1884 but no record can be found to prove this.It is also said they traveled with a family named Tilkens.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
