I am looking for information concerning the villages of Longuich and Fell (also Biewer and Euren) near Trier. Does anyone have any connections to the HORTEN and DEUTSCH families of this area? (Also BARZEN, KREUSCH, SCHEFFERS, MUELLER, BERENS, ZENNER, SCHIFF). Does anyone know the history of these villages and what life was like when they were part of Rhenish Prussia? Of the Archbishopric of Trier? Here is a list of my ancestral grandparents: LONGUICH Johann Horten (30 Apr. 1829-31 Oct. 1895) & Catherina Deutsch (4 Mar. 1822-21 Oct. 1900) Peter Horten (1786-22 Feb. 1836) & Anna Maria Kreusch (17 Apr. 1796-26 Feb. 1856) Maria Catherina Barzen (20 Jan. 1755-25 Mar. 1806) Peter Barzen & Anna Maria Mueller (married on 31 Jan. 1752) Greisch Johann Kreusch (11 Oct. 1757-11 Apr. 1828) & Susanna Berens (20 Feb. 1762- ?) (married on 15 May 1785) FELL Johann Horten (1 June 1750-16 May 1809) (married Maria Catherina Barzen on 28 Jan. 1777 at St.Martin Katholische Kirche) Johann Horten & Maria Scheffers (parents of Mathias, Johann, Nikolaus, Maria Madalena, Johann, and Theordor) Josef Walerio Deutsch ((1792 - ?) & Anna Maria Zenner ((1793 - ?)
