[OSM-talk-be] Fwd: [OpenStreetMap] Avenue Jean Dubrucq

[Marc Gemis]

It's a bit weird that one would create an OSM-account and then ask
other people about genealogy, but by replying via the OSM message
system you do not give away additional information (besides what you
write), I think.

Isodore seems to be mentioned in [1], but she will be better off
looking at a website like [2] than on OSM I expect
