la famille de Gerlache
Assorted information relating to the immediate family of Adrien de Gerlache, commander of the Belgica expedition. Collected and transcribed/translated by m.w. from Belgian & French national archives of birth/death/marriage certificates, contemporary newspapers, and other sources.
This page is mostly intended as an organizational tool for myself; you will notice a bias similar my other research in that I have been interested in the women attached to the Belgica.
Adrien de Gerlache married Suzanne Poulet on December 21, 1904 in Nice, France.
