The Braurs and Heinens family came from far Western Germany in the province of Nordrhein-Westphalen. They originated in the town of Nörvenich, which has a present-day population of about 12,000. The administrative region (Regierungsbezirk) for Nörvenich is Cologne. The sub-district (kreis) is Düren, which is in the west of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany and is surrounded by the districts Heinsberg, Neuss, Rhein-Erft-Kreis, Euskirchen and Aachen. Before the Napoleonic Wars all of the area belonged to the duchy of Jülich. The main river in the district is the Rur. The Braures and Heinen families were Roman Catholic.
