[Genealib] Reference librarians in Belgium

[Deena Butta]

Another route to take, as regards finding someone to help you with local
research requests in Belgium, is to try the website "Random Acts of
Genealogical Kindness,"  http://www.raogk.com/  where it says "RAOGK is
a global volunteer organization. With over 4000 volunteers in every U.S.
state and many international locations, we have helped thousands of
researchers. Our volunteers take time to do everything from looking up
courthouse records to taking pictures of tombstones. All they ask in
return is reimbursement for their expenses (never their time) and a
thank you."

You may be able to find someone who has access to Belgian resources to
do a lookup for you.  I have found this to be an amazing resource in
certain situations.

Hello

Can anyone tell me if the library systems in Belgium have reference
librarians to contact for specific local research requests? I am
specifically in Etterbeek and the Brussells area particularly in the
1910s-1950s. I am particularly looking for street directories, phone
books, business directories, property records, school records, dental
schools and  newspapers. I have street maps from 1910 for all of the
areas.

Thanks for any pointers you may be able to offer.
