I am trying to find links to my gr grandfather who came to Tasmania Australia from Antwerp Belgium prior to 1900. His name was Anthony Joseph Swaenen which he changed to Arthur Swaeney. I believe that his father's name was Francis and his mother's was possibly Desiree Ven. I know of a cousin Yvonne Gommers. Contact was maintained until the outbreak of WW2.
