Re: Your AHRENS Ancestor
GenForum entry - Surnames
Your ancestor originated from Damme, Germany - is this anywhere near Rostock ?
I have found that lots of Ahrens seem to have originated from the Rostock area in Mecklenberg.
If you check the German phone directory:
< http://www.telefonbuch.de/NSAPI/Anfrage>http://www.telefonbuch.de/NSAPI/Anfrage>
you will find a dozen listed under Rostock.
I am researching children or siblings of -
Joachim Christoph Ahrens, born about 1800 in Rostock, Mecklenberg area.
He had a son:
Christoph Johann Heinrich Ahrens
Born: 14 September 1835 at Klein Upahl, Schwerin, Mecklenburg.
Buried: possibly Tanunda, South Australia
If you see any link to your ancestor, please let me know.
