"Father Nieuwland's parents immigrated from Hansbeke, Belgium in 1880 to South Bend, Indiana."

People emigrate from a place and immigrate to another. Immigrate means 'migrate into'; this is hard to do whilst simultaneously leaving! Minor point maybe but the wording interrupts reading flow. Chrysippo (talk) 12:21, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
