Mr. Goethals and Fr. Denys have prepared the first English-language guidebook for tracing Flemish ancestors from Belgium. Chapter One focuses on Flemish-American genealogical organizations, such as the Genealogical Society of Flemish Americans (GFSA). As the author points out, many Belgian records have been microfilmed by the LDS Church or are available on the Internet. Chapters Two and Three are devoted to the all-important vital records of the Civil Registry (1796-1900) and Flemish parish registers (1600-1796). Mr. Goethals translates sample records from each category into English from the original Flemish, French, and Latin. The final chapter discusses other types of records, such as court records (schepenenbank), orphan records (weezerie), tax lists (penningskohieren), and citizenship records (poorters en buiten-poorters).Buttressing the text itself are a number of useful appendices, including a brief course on Flemish names and naming practices and a crucial glossary of Flemish, French, and Latin terms commonly used in Belgian genealogical documents.… (más)

For Americans of Flemish ancestry, whose knowledge of the Flemish language is waning, there is a need for a guide to help them descend into their Flemish family history.
Belgium Few Americans are aware that Belgium only emerged as an independent nation in 1830. Located between The Netherlands, Germany, France and Luxembourg and approximately the same size as the State of Maryland, this small European nation has for centuries been the focal point of international power politics.

Burgher ship provided a certain social standing in the community. This does not mean that it was reserved for the 'high society"; next to the parish priest and the noble, there were many trades people, farmers and regular folks who were burghers. The main purpose of becoming a burgher or outside burgher was to protect the family and its possessions.
