That's interesting: I have BREEs from the Limburg area in my files as well, but no Marie married to a Hedrich. But BREEs from Gulpen in Limburg and the area around Aachen (Haaren, Eilendorf) -- no direct connection with the Dutch BREEs as yet. There are several BREE families in the UK as well, again as yet no proven link with the Dutch and/or German namesakes.
