Looking for Birth & Death Certificate for Theophile De Wulf
I'm helping a friend work on her Du Wulf line, but cannot locate a birth certificate or death certificate.
Theophile (Theopiela, Theopiel) De Wulf.
Birth/Geboorte: 24 Dec 1877 of 1878
Death/Dood: 1960
Immigrated: on S.S. Lapland sailing from Antwerpen on 23 Aug 1913 (without wife and children)
Wife: Rosalia (Rosalie, Rosalei, Rosaline) De Mees and children August, Jean, and Harry (Henry) Wife and children immigrated on S.S. Missanabie departing Liverpool 2 Dec 1914.
Last known city before immigrating to USA was Chatelineau, Belgium for both Theophile and family.
Census lists Theophile's mother tongue as Flemish.
Rosalia's mother is Isabelle Marie Kennis/Kumis/Kermis who was in Chatelineau in 1914.
Rosalia died 1931.
Theophile returned to Belgium to die (missing his home country) and we believe he died in Belgium in 1960.
Can anyone help me find these records?

He was not a very difficult find. Your ancestor is born in Diksmuide , West -Flanders,Belgium.
He is from an unknown father (Nomen nescio) so his mother was not married and 19 yrs old; the child was attested by the midwife and the mother only.I took the liberty to add (birthcertificate)of him in his sourcebox, and make some annotations, as well as adding Camille to his name ,and the exact adress is in the annotation also.You are not likely to find his death in 1860 as these years are privacy protected by law, .. anyway here he is, --if you like a translation,make a request here,but i have no time the next two days...

Good to know about the privacy laws protecting his death record still. I was able to link to two established family lines because of your help. My friend is so happy to have this information.
