Searching for all possible descendants and relatives of Hans Andreas Arens and wife Catharina
who lived in Reuland (Burg-Reuland), three frontier corner of Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, as early as 1664.
Hans Andreas Arens is listed as head of the Arends Hauss (20 Nov 1670).
The site www.reulandroots.com (extraction of all Reuland's births, marriages, deaths records from 1661-1870 [over 16000 entries], with a name index [over 45000 names], and links to the original entries - contains all their descendants who remained in Burg-Reuland.
But we are trying to find all the Arens from nearby localities who could be related but whose link to Hans Andreas Arens cannot be proved.
Hans Andreas Arens was not in Reuland in the 1656 or 1531 hearth list.
We suspect that he moved in Reuland to repopulate this area after the thirty year war, which had caused much devastation.

Thank you so much.
