Reu - Goes back to Genesis 11:18 in the Bible. Reu was the son of Peleg. Born in 2156 B.C and died in 1917 B.C. the sixteenth generation from Adam.
Erwin Reu was originally from Heubach (picture) which is in the area of Schwabish-Gmund, Federal state of Baden Württemberg (Württemberg Shield) in Germany (Deutschland). Ancestors have been traced back to other areas of southern Germany. Recently (2006) I have found that there is a family in Portugal and the USA with the name Reu.
Also found Erwin Reu on Ellis Island records: His address in
Germany: Ringstrasse 17, Pforzheim, BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG 75173 DE
Also, Erwin on emigrating to America listed his destination as Newark, NJ to "Uncle William Reu".
William Reu's
descendants are also living in NJ, GA, VA and elsewhere.
