=My Heritage and Background=

My last name is Dejaegher (pronounced Dee-yay-ger). The origin of my last name comes from Belgium. Belgium is a country in western Europe which lies NE of France and SW of the Netherlands. In Belgium, the most common language spoken is Dutch, followed by French and German. I am unable to speak Dutch and German, but can speak, read and write a little French. My grandparents were unable to speak english when they came to Canada. They spoke French and Dutch.

My mom's side of the family comes from [|Romania]. At least that is where both my great grandparents were from. I have quite the mix of nationalities in my background, but they are all a part of me in some way. I would really like to travel to Belgium and see where my family name came from. Apparently my uncommon last name in Canada is a very common name in Belgium so it would be interesting to look in a Belgian phone book to see if that is true!
