Louis and Marie Gryp
lived at Oosteeklo in Flanders
and raised there, as this picture from 1898
shows, a big family. 
First row of children: Julia,
Emiel, Sidonia, Romanie, Louise, Leontine, Leon
and Camilla
On the last row: August, Hendrik, Julius, Alois
and Karel
Both
parents, on this picture in the front, died
shortly after each other in 1905. Some of their
children then emigrated to America.
They settled at South Bend, Indiana, a region
where already more Flemish people were living.

THE IMMIGRANTS

|
| |
| |
In the immigrant register
of Ellis Island, where all the immigrants who
arrived at New York were recorded, the following Gryp's from Oosteeklo were found.
Emiel Gryp,
25 years of age and single, arrived at Ellis Island on September
19, 1912, with the Lusitania. He was already a resident from
South Bend, Indiana. This means he already moved
to the USA prior to this return trip to the old
country.
Together
with him on the ship is his brother Karel
Gryp, 34 years of age and married.
A few months earlier, on
July 19, 1912, Jules Gryp, 20 years of age and single,
arrived at Ellis Island with the vessel Mauretania. This could be their
brother Julius.
