I want to go to Belgium because that is where my mother’s parents are from. She grew up in a Belgian neighborhood next to the Italian neighborhood in Mishawaka, IN. My mother did not teach me much of this heritage. I recently met my second cousin who lives 15 minutes from me. His mother Louise did a family geneology book she let me copy.
