Duane, I have Conrad & Endres families in Herforst. Someone e-mailed me the pages from the family book which are specific for my family groups with those surnames. I checked, and could not find your names. That does not mean that your families did not have a connection with mine. There was no documented connection in the generations included in the pages that I have. I suggest that you check church records for both Herforst & Speicher.

Records at the standesamt at Speicher, I believe, note that he had come from Arlon, the capital of the Belgian province of Luxembourg and very near the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. He married Catharina Steffen at Herforst in 1804 and fathered eight children, including my gg grandmother Catharina Hartmann Bangart. I have not been able to locate any parish records at Arlon containing references to Nicholas and I am seeking more information about his ancestry. Duane E.
