I'm looking to find records in Watermael-Boitsford, Brussels, Belgium, but when I search the catalog in Family search, it says that there is no result for that place. Does anyone know where I could find records for Watermael-Boitsford?

Thank You in advance,

Marie-Claude

Currently the location search-prompt is under update, place names are getting framed in newer spellings and some are dissolved places,or merged under new names.Yours is an example,Watermael-Boitsfort is an old French spelling and would be in todays Flemisch _Dutch "Watermaal-Bosvoorde" and that is the name you will find it on Wikipedia also.But the location is a contraction of Watermaal,…and Bosvoorde (2 places) and they not always resided in the registers they are today.The main reason not to show up in your search,is that some material is in an even older spelling, or even , spelling consist of two languages,and is written in old Dutch; this case, It will show to be in the files as"Watermael-Boschvoorde",and for now i only could locate the churchregisters.Have fun!
