Tombstone Tuesday - Befays & Dehoux

LES EPOUX

BEFAYS - DEHOUX

The Married Couple

Befays - Dehoux

My mother migrated to Australia with her parents and younger sister when she was 9.

As a result, I know little about that side of the family but my mother remembers the time with her grandparents fondly.

In 2001, I was able to make a short trip to Belgium where I met my grandfather's brother and his wife, who are wonderful people. Amongst many other activities, they took me to the grave of my great grandparents near Charleroi (which as you can see contains VERY little information).

Leon BEFAYS: 1904 - 1977
