Immigrants from Liege, Belgium circa 1870


This web site exists for family history and to share experiences.
The name Detrixhe refers to what would appear to come from 'de trixhe',
'trixhe' not being found in any French dictionary, but coming from the Walloon
language and meaning 'waste ground' or 'common land' or 'land belonging to
the local Commune (or rural council)'. So, a name which might be given to
a family living on or alongside common land.


On April 10, 1999 the First Annual Detrixhe Family Reunion
Was held in Higgins, Texas

I've come to know many Detrixhe family members, and I know our ancestors
came to this country to find opportunity and new hope for a better future
for themselves, their children, grandchildren, and extended family.
We are blessed because of their efforts.
