Weapon of the City of Zwevegem

Genealogical Tree of the VROMANT Family

This archive will teach you more about the family VROMANT, originating from Belgium. All the places mentioned on this page are in the neighborhood of Kortrijk, which is a small city of 50,000 inhabitants (+ 20,000 in the suburbs) in West-Flanders (and where the US cyclist Greg Lemond lived during his European bicycling days). The cities of Zwevegem (or Sweveghem in the old spelling) and Deerlijk can also be found on the Internet. Heestert and Sint-Denijs are villages which are now part of Zwevegem.

For more information, mail to Joris Vromant or to Jan Vromant.
