Note*"I read your posting in the Guest Book for the Flemish Family Society in Tielt. My grandfather was August DeFauw and his father was Henry DeFauw and mother was Coletta LaHousse. I have a lot of information on my grandfather's family - parents, brothers, sisters, children, etc. Don't quite understand how you are related to them, but would like to learn more. My son and his wife are currently living in Aachen, Germany and we are taking a trip over there Sept. 8th. When we were there in June, we looked in the phone book and saw a number of DeFauws in Tielt and surrounding cities ( Ruiselede & Aarsele). We were hoping to be able to learn if anyone knows which of them are related to us and how they are related so we could visit them. If you know anything related to this or how we could find out, I would greatly appreciate it. Donna Obrigkeit" (email to MK 16 Aug 2005, MK responded)
