Perhaps if you contact the D Van Dessel above, he may know if Henri & Clementina were siblings...and if he is a relation he is sure to know who his grandparents were.

Did Decoster brother and sister marry Van Dessel brother and sister?

VAN DESSEL Henri born 16 August 1937; Liliane (nee Decoster) born 14 march 1942; Didius born ***1969 - Belgian - travelled per ship MIKL departing Hamburg/Germany on 21 October 1970

There is a D Van Dessel listed in the phone directory in Qld which may well be son Didius. Worth a try!

Hello Decoster,

It may be useful for your to put the names you are researching into the Search Trees box above - there are quite a few members on here who have Decosters and Van Dessels in their tree. If you think you find a connection, you can try contacting the tree owners to see if they have any further information. Cx.
