On Tuesday February 06 2024, Yves Bastin from Belgium left the following message for Ahmed COOPER-BEY: "Hello, I'm a historian specializing in the history of Belgium during the Second World War. I'm also interested in the history of Melen, the village where Marie Madeleine Marcelle Roland, your relative, who married Isaac Cooper-Bay at the end of the war, lived in 1946. From their union was born Daniel Edouard on February 13, 1946, who sadly passed away in 2023, I learned on Internet. At the time of Marie Roland's departure for the USA with Daniel Edouard, she was living on rue de Jupille in the small village of Melen, where I myself live. The local registers mention a departure of the mother and her son on November 18, 1946. I would have liked to know more about Marie's story, how she met Isaac and their beautiful story. I would it be possible for you to tell me more? If you have any photos from That time, please let me know. I myself could send you images of the neighborhood where your parent was born and spent his or her first months. Yves Bastin." Reply
