Family History Library.
So I went to the FHL and scrolled through records from Arlon, Belgium from the catholic parish records looking for any Delva's. None were found, the closest name to it was Delvauy or Delvaux. This was from the years 1832 to 1849

Possible relation? Andrew McCombs 1760's
http://www.longcanearp.org/almayoung.html
I saw this website talking about a Andrew McCombs. I'm qouting it here. I don't know if there is any relation to our McCombs, but it is interesting. "Long Cane was originally a fort, (Fort Long Cane) for the protection of settlers from the Cherokee Indians who had been pushed back beyond the mountains of North Carolina, in Pickens and Oconee counties. Then the Fort became a place where the inhabitants assembled for religious services before moving to the groves of the present church location. Fort Long Cane, now Long Cane Church, was on the east side of Long Cane Creek and nearly a mile from the present location east of the old Andrew McCombs Mill, (now known as Bradley's Mill) and north of Davis Hill, around which the present road curves leading down to the creek. Andrew McCombs had a King's grant to the lands joining on the west side of Long Cane from the mill. Long Cane was Fort Long Cane as early as 1760 or 1761. Before going to the Flat Woods, the Calhoun settlement was on Long Cane and land laid out for some of the party is within less than two miles of the present bridge over Long Cane Creek. Dr. Thomas Clark was the first pastor of Long Cane. He was born in Gallaway, Scotland, about 1722. He was said to be a graduate of Glasgow University and was licensed to preach in 1748. He labored in Ireland, Ballibay County, for about sixteen years. On May 10, 1764, Dr. Clark and 300 of his members set sail for America from Newry, Ireland, and landed in New York, July 28, 1764, where his congregation divided: part set out for Long Cane and Cedar Spring, Abbeville County and others, the greater part passed up the Hudson. Dr. Clark came over from Reddrum Strenboden, near Ballibay, Ireland. "

looking for Bertha Thompson
One of my lines is stuck on Bertha Thompson. We have a death certificate of her's in Genesee,Id. she was married to an Erick Egland and I think she was born in Norway. I post a couple of more tidbits on her later. We just have no idea about her parents or anything before she was married. I think she was married in LaSalle, IL
Delva's
I recently tried looking for John Karl Delva and came up with a lovely website on his wife's family. Its www.boffinms.com/~omega/genealogy/peters/peters.htnm
Peters Genealogy
She was married to John Karl DELVA, on May 15, 1877 in Goodhue Co., Minnesota. John Karl DELVA was born in Dec 1851 and died in 1927 in Chewelah, ...www.boffinms.com/~omega/genealogy/peters/peters.htm
So John Karl Delva was born 26 Dec 1851 in Lux, Belgium and Died 1927
His father is John Philip Delva b abt 1808 in Luxemburg, Belgium and Married in 1832 in the same place to Anna Flemming b abt 1812 in Lux,Belgium.
I havent found any more information on this family. Evidently the Delva name in belgium comes from a prominate spainard who moved to belgium and he was from Alba, Spain which would be de alba or Delva. We haven't been able to connect our family with this Delva but it is possible.
