Belgium's online Telephone directory

Daily we receive many email messages from people asking all kinds of things. We always read all incoming messages doing our best to help you. Sometimes our answers have some delay because we have to contact other organisations from time to time to get the information you need. If you don't receive any answer this only means that we don't know the answer or we can't help you!. But we will always try to.
 

Some frequently asked questions :

1. How do we get from Charleroi Airport (Brussels South) to the center of Brussels ?

We suggest you consult the web site of the Charleroi/Brussels South airport where you will find links concerning transport to Brussels. Click here !

2. How do I find information about a Belgian city or village ?

The best solution is to look up the official web site of the city or the village. It is quite easy : you add the ".be" extension in the URL of the village. That should mostly do the trick. For example : if you want to find the web site of the village of Waasmunster just type : www.waasmunster.be

In any case, we include a (non-exhaustive) list with direct links to several Belgian cities and villages. Click here !

3. How do I get from Brussels (or another city) to the village I want to visit ?

Belgium  has a widespread network of public transport. We suggest you go to any of the train stations in Belgium where the people have all the necessary time tables and train schedules to help you out.

If you plan to go by car you can use the excellent MAP24 Route planner for Belgium. Click here !

4. My great-grandfather /mother came from a village in Belgium. How can I find out if some of my relatives are still living there ?

Unfortunately, we don't have the time and the means to look this up for you. We suggest you contact the web site of the village (see question 2) or address your question to the "Genealogy Belgium Roots project". Click here !
