Quarterly (Trimestriel) Belgian Branch Newsletters were started in 1983 to provide a cost-effective way of sharing information with members.
We hold copies of all Newsletters apart from Numbers 1, 25, 27 and 31. See here for summary of Newsletter number and dates.
See the Records Branch Newsletter Tab for Newsletters from 2012 onwards. At present it is not possible due to the size of the files and the limitations of the website to give users direct access to copies of earlier editions. However we can email a copy of the pdf version to you. Please 'Contact Us' NB please let us know if you can fill any gaps.
Use the 'Information Finder' spreadsheets to identify which Newsletters contain what information and to search under the headings of: Obituaries, Memorials, Organisations, People, Branch Events.
Prior to 1983, and reaching back to the foundation of the Branch in 1947, information was shared in an ad hoc fashion, and very little has survived. Those few items that we have captured for this Branch Archive are included under the 'Chronological' Tab.
If you have information to share, please 'Contact Us'.
