Location of Records Relating to Your Belgian Ancestry
Charles de France, Founder of Brussels
Many people are unaware that many important records which are crucial to their family tree search cannot be found online. Many Belgian records, for example, are only available to researchers who can physically visit repositories at the local level in Belgium or the Family History Library in Utah. Our genealogy researchers have access to all of these records and are ready to assist you with your genealogy search in Belgium. So, if you have limited your past research to exhaustive internet searches in online databases and web sites, you may have reached a brick wall because you're missing out on the literal gold mine of records available to our genealogists on microfilm, in books, and in other published material. Many Belgian records relating to your ancestry search, important records like church parish registers, civil registration, military records, family wills and other types records, are generally not available online and can only be obtained by visiting your ancestor's town of origin in Belgium, or by consulting microfilmed records available at the Family History Library in Utah.
Belgium has experienced large waves of out-migration from the country from the 1600s up to the present day. Many Belgian immigrants settled in American states like New York, Michigan, and Wisconsin where economic opportunities were much more promising than in the old country. If your ancestors were part of this diaspora, many records helpful to building your family tree in Belgium would probably first be uncovered in the places where your ancestors immigrated. To find records relating to your family in Belgium, we must first know exactly where your Belgian ancestors lived in the past. This information can sometimes be found in obituaries, church records, ships' passenger lists, naturalization records and vital records.
Many important records relating to Belgian family history are held locally at church archives and regional archives. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has also visited civil registration offices and churches throughout Belgium and microfilmed many records relevant to Belgian genealogy. Civil registration refers to official government records. These records are sometimes available from the early 1800s up to the present day and hold a wealth of information. It is also sometimes possible to get a family tree traced back to the 1600s and 1700s using church parish registers.
The records collection of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City is the single most important genealogical resource in the world. Included in the Family History Library's collections are literally millions of genealogical records related to Belgium which can be a great help to your ancestry search.
