Research in Belgium

[molepatrol]

My Gt Grandad was a Belgian Jewish soldier.

Any ideas on a good website in Belgium I can use to research that side of my family?

Belgium research is very specific as to the location. I struggled for years and in the end I hired a researcher in Belgium. Who did a wonderful job.
Do you have any idea where your g grandad was from? I started with naturalisation papers from the national archives and they really gave me loads of info to establish an area to start looking.
Good luck.
