52 Ancestors Week 33- Charles Louis Tavernier Sr

I spent the better part of half a year researching my Belgian ancestors. I got pretty good at figuring out both the French and Dutch records. This ancestor threw me a little though, since both father and son have the same name. Also, I know very little about his life

Charles Louis Tavernier (Sr.) is one of at least three children of Joseph Tavernier and Barbe Wanters. He was born 17 June 1833 in Grotenberge, East Flanders, Belgium.

On 3 March 1862 he married Adelle Joseph Leblon in Montignies-sur-Sambre, Hainaut, Belgium. Together they had 4 children.

He died, probably after 1900, but I haven't yet found his death record.

52 Ancestors Week 13 - Rosalie Balieu

This week I am writing about Rosalie Dieudonnee Ghislaine Balieu. She was born in Montignies-sur-Sambre, Belgium on September 20, 1874, the second child of  Jean Pierre Balieu and Marie Catherine Daudois (at least I think that's how it's spelled).

In Feb 1897 she married Louis Tavernier. They immigrated to America in 1901, making their home in Pennsylvania. Together they had at least 5 children, 2 of which are known to have survived to adulthood (according to the 1910 census). On August 7, 1910 she died of Puerperal Mania (postpartum psychosis). Presumably she had recently had a child, but I don't know specifics yet. As far as I know the child did not survive. When she died she left behind her husband and 2 young daughters (ages 12 and 6).

52 Ancestors week 12 - Charles Louis Tavernier

This week's theme is "Same", so I'm going to write about Charles Louis Tavernier, who has the same name as his father (and we suspect also had a son he named the same thing).

Louis (as he was known by) was born April 22, 1869 in Montignies-sur-Sambre, Belgium. He was the 3rd child of Charles Louis Tavernier and Adelle Leblon. On February 20, 1897 he married Rosalie Dieudonnee Ghislaine Balieu in the nearby city of Charleroi. They made their home in Gilly for a short time. In Belgium they had 2 girls, Renee and Alice, the latter of whom died at 7 months old. The next year they immigrated to America in October 1901 on the ship SS Zeeland from Antwerp.

Once in America they moved to Pennsylvania, a place many Belgians went to live. They had at least one other child, Alice Elizabeth Tavernier
He died on Aug 18, 1919 in Hanover, Pennsylvania of stomach cancer.

52 Ancestors Week 9 - Alice Elizabeth Tavernier

This week's theme is "Close to Home". I chose to write about my great grandma Alice because she is the only great grandparent I actually remember meeting in real life. I'm told I met some others at family reunions when I was 1-3 years old, but I don't remember them. Her funeral is the first funeral I remember going to. She lived in a nearby town to where I grew up and I saw her several times a year.

She was born August 31, 1903 in McDonald, Pennsylvania. Her parents had immigrated in 1901 from Belgium along with her sister Renee. She was named Alice Elizabeth Tavernier (some paperwork shows her as Elizabeth Alice); Alice was also the name of her older sister that had died at 7 months old. Her mother died in 1910, when she was just 7 years old.

On November 19, 1924 she married Raymond Earl Turner in Wierton West Virginia. They lived in Ohio for a few years, then West Virginia for several years before moving back to Pennsylvania. They had 4 boys.

After the death of her husband she moved to San Bernardino California to be closer to her children, living with her oldest when she died. She died June 24, 1993.
