French SIG #France Belgium 1914 telephone directory now searchable #france
Logan Kleinwaks
A 1914 telephone directory for Belgium is now full-text searchable at
genealogyindexer.org. To restrict a search to this directory and the few other Belgium-specific sources on the site (1948/1949 and 1955 naturalizations), change the "Any Place" option below the search box to "Belgium." Soundex, wildcard, and other advanced searches are possible. Search results link to scans on the website of GenWiki, a project of the Verein fuer Computergenealogie. If you prefer to browse the scans, rather than search, you can do so at http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/w/index.php?title=Datei:Belgien-AB-1914.djvu&page=1. To view the scans, which are in the .DjVu image file format, you will need to (once) install a .DjVu plugin for your web browser. I use the free plugin at https://www.cuminas.jp/en/downloads/download/?pid=1, and recommend using Firefox or another non-Chrome browser due to plugin-browser incompatibilities. If you know of other scanned, typewritten Belgian sources such as directories that should be made full-text searchable, please contact me privately.
