I am also looking for my Reinders acestors from the town of Rindern near Kleve, Germany. They lived near the border of Germany and the Netherlands. I am also looking for information on the name of the Catholic Church in either Rindern or Kleve where they were baptisted.

Heinrich Reinders and his wife Gertrude and his family immigrated to the US in 1872 from the port of Liverpool on the ship "Parthia" and settled in Mercer County, Ohio before coming to Texas around 1900. His children were all born in Germany.

According to the 1880 Census Records in the United States

Heinrich Reinders was born abt 1830
Gertude (Hoyman) Reinders was born abt 1835
Theodore Reinders was born abt 1858
Johann Reinders was born 1 June 1863
Wilhelm Reinders was born abt 1865
Helena Reinders was born abt 1868
Bernard Reinders was born 23 January 1871
