Peter was born in Bergen about 1633.
Married Malmanger, Kvinnherad 10 Jul 1664
POSSIBLY son of Heinrich Arentz
He passed away in 1710.
A gravestone was found at the German cemetary in Bergen saying Henricus Arentz, filius biscopi Bremensis, mortuus 1644. This COULD be the tailor Henrich Arent from Stralsund who took citizenship 10 Feb 1625 whose wife (i.e. widow) is mentioned in census 1644 Lassen ASSUMED this was the father of Peter.
However, it is as likely that Peter's father was the Henrich Arentzen who took citizenship in Bergen 3 Mar 1627 and is mentioned until 9 May 1659
