My name is Noel T Fiems. I grew up in Steamboat Rock, Iowa and ended up living for almost three decades in northern Italy. I have a passion for photos, especially old family photos and have been working on genealogy so that I could identify all the unknown and unmarked photos of family that I inherited. I created a family tree in the website familysearch (anyone can create an account in this website - it is completely free) so that any of my relatives interested in knowing more about our ancestors can have access to what I know and have copies of photos, documents, and diaries if they'd like. My ancestors on my mother's side include Spechts, Stevens, Sears, Speaks, Starks, Boones, Sheltons, Sauermans, Waltz and Dobsons (English, Bavarian German, and Czechoslovakian). On my Dad's side are Fiems, Tanghe, Tuytens, DeVolder, Beauprez, Staes, Deriemacker, Verplates, Depoorter, and Swales (all straight from Belgium).
