If you are interested in spending sometime in the Green Bay or Sturgeon Bay areas, your time would be well spent at the Special Collections on the Belgians at the University of Wisconsin Green Bay, Cofrin Library. Also, the Brown County Library in Green Bay has a wonderful Genealogy department headed by Mary Jane Herber, thirdly, the Sturgeon Bay Library has a wonderful collection of newspapers of the area on microfilm, and, if they still have it, they had a book with the belgian people and the dates they appeared in the newspaper, so it is very easy to do the research. Also, the Bay Area Genealogy Society (Brown County) has much. Much of the Brown County Library items can be found online.
