It is likely that Blondina was pregnant with Henry de Waele when she left Belgium with Charles in 1869. Henry was a county official (supervisor) in Roscommon, MI. John Thorne writes: Henry was born in 1869 in Lafayette, Indiana, the year Charles and Blondina arrived from Belgium. My grandfather Arthur (4th child born in US after Henry, Emily, and Alfred ) was born in Roscommon in 1876. Charles is recorded as a "justice of the peace" at that time on Arthur's birth registration. I tried to find Henry's birth registration in the Lafayette archives, but no luck there. Then located it in early 1940s Roscommon data base. Apparently Henry needed a birth certificate then for insurance purposes, medical support, whatever; so officially registered his birth at 70 plus years of age!
