• I literally have yet to trace most of this family back to outside of the USA. Also, of course, this is the piece of the family with the "American Indian" legend - someone's great-great-grandfather was a Cherokee Indian! But no - Oklahoma was Indian territory when they lived on it.

Surnames Maternal: Matten, Vanthuyne, Van Laere, Degryse, Rosselle, Geldhof

Where at? Maternal: California, USA; Alabama, USA; Belgium (mostly West-Flanders)

• I only split this up because my grandmother is living, but really, it would make perfect sense to ACTUALLY split this up. Her paternal line is South Carolina forever and ever, and her maternal line hopped over from Belgium in April 1910. That is the most recent of any of my ancestors to get over here to America.
• My maternal grandmother is the only grandparent I've really known. All were alive for a decent time of my life, living not-too-far, but for one reason or another, I never had relationships with them. As such, I think I'm include to care the most about this line. Since I can't read Flemish, that means I dive into the "Moore" line. Only... I may have learned that Hubert's father passed away in 1900. And Hubert was born... 1914. So perhaps that is not part of the Moore story. Hit me up if your family was in Greer, South Carolina in 1913. Based on the trees of my DNA matches on ancestry, my theory right now is that his bio father was one of the Thornton men living in Greer. But as far as the Moore name goes, Hubert's mother's grandmother was a Moore in South Carolina, so we still got it.
