They were from the Condroz, and they came to the farm by an auction about 1830. At the beginning they were not alone: there were two other families, which finally left because the ground was not fertile to grow vegetables.the family of my father stayed and in order to get the maximum of land (and not to divide the land) they married within the family. This didn't always the hoped results sometimes.
