Hi,
Looking for the birth of my grandmother, approximately 1887, in Antwerpe Belgium, her father was Cornelius. He name is as above. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Cornelius Van Den Broek is quite a common name in Belgium.

The marriage of Adrianus is 7 years before Bertha was born so not sure he is a sibling.

Hi Linda,

do you have the marriage certificate for her? If so what was her fathers occupation and who were the witnesses. Did she also give an address at the time of marriage?

Just thinking that maybe we could find siblings and be able to help pinpoint her???
