DUFORT, John Charles 1847-1911; Help with Finding Parents

[josbevermans]

Marriage certificate for his parents on page 83 (use flash player):

I know they are his parents because they are mentioned in his foreigner file from Antwerp.

Hi Jos,

THANK YOU! for the link for the marriage certificate.  Is the wife's surname BREN or BRET ?  I am intrigued by your reference of an Antwerp Foreigner file for John/Jean Charles Dufort which lists his parents.

Do you still have the link or a date for the Antwerp data?

Now I need to get the marriage license translated.  I believe I can make out these tidbits

Louis Auguste Albert Dufort, Glasier

Son of Jean Baptiste Chimothie Dufort Colivatier
and
Virginie Regina Berast safemma

Clara Bren

Daughter of Farre Egalite Bren
and
Adelaide Berard

Thank you again!  I look forward to reviewing it better once I get home from this business trip.

What's your e-mail? I could send you the foreigner file.

It's Bret I believe.

Hi Jos,

Is the file you are referring to located at familysearch.org at this lnk: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L99C-9LQF?i=509&wc=M6T3-R2H%3A341957301&cc=2023926

Yes, that is the exact file.

Hi Jos,

Thank you very much for providing the hint for the additional research location.  Found his parents and grandparents.  Familysearch.org also had additional family members. 

Thanks again!

Robert

Only wish I could make out the penmanship in the marriage document to put it into a translation program.

Feel free to pm me your e-mail address. I could help you decode and translate some passages. My French is almost acceptable.
