My name is Albert John Duwyn.
My father was the late Albert Francis Duwyn (Duwijn) born November 12, 1916
emigrated to Canada in 1928 and died June 29, 1982.
His father was Camiel Duwyn ( Duwijn) born December 15, 1886, emigrated to
Canada in the 1920's deceased December 31, 1969.
Camiel was married to Heppolite Hughe died September 1969.
Camiel and Heppolite had three sons Victor, Sylvain and Albert and three
daughters Georgette, Marie and Yvonne. They came from a small town called
Iseghem or Illeghem or something like that.

My mother was born Mary Defraeye on October 31, 1920 and is still living.
Her father was Gustaf Defraeye and her mother Emma Vanhaecke. They had three
boys Charlie, Joseph and Albert and three daughters Emilie, Mary and
Madeleine.
They emigrated from Belgium to Canada in the 1920's as well.

Any help in locating some ancestors would be greatly appreciated!

Regards, Albert
