Belgian Records
« on: Wednesday 10 September 25 13:46 BST (UK) »
I'm looking into my partner's family and am having trouble with this one:

Germaine Rose SCHENDORFF (sometimes Germaine Rosa SCHOENDORFF).

She was born on 16 June 1892, Paris 6e, France.

I have found her in the Police Immigration Index for Antwerp, Belgium (1901-1915) and can then find no trace of her in Belgium or France.

Birth: http://www.rootschat.com/links/01tzq/
p 24/31 Acte 2087

It's very probably too recent to find any other info, but just in case anyone has any knowledge of Belgian records and where to look. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

For those who can’t read Dutch:

Germaine arrives in Antwerp/Belgium early 1914 (but her official residence is still in Paris). She is a “dienster” (servant).
Germaine plans to stay in Antwerp for at least 6 months, but her second Antwerp arrival in Oct 1918 seems to indicate that it might have been shorter. Apparently she was in Brussels from early 1914 to late 1917. After this she was in Luik, before returning to Antwerp. Her occupation has changed to “artiste danzeres” (artist dancer).
