Notes
- 1.
Kessler 1968 provides a detailed history of Düren with an extensive bibliography. Müller-Westphal 1989 has considerable genealogical information on Düren families.
- 2.
Antoine’s father, one Remacle Arnold from the small community of Richelette, had added Lejeune to his name so as to distinguish himself from his father who bore the same name. At the time of his baptism, our Gustav was still recorded as Lejeune de Richelet; in Düren, the family subsequently would often be referred to merely by the surname Lejeune.
