Pauwel Pauwelsz Van Aeysdale was born in East Flanders. He moved to Gouda, Holland where he married Fiermijne Holters. Information from Jo Ann Ramseyer familytreemaker.com genealogy site.
In the first issue of the Van Arsdale Family Newsletter, later renamed the Van to Van - The Dutch Heritage, published Summer 1979 there appears the following:
"On June 12, 1622, at St. Poncras Church, (name of the city is blurred) in the Netherlands, a baptism took place. Abraham Van Aersdale, infant son of of Adrian Van Aersdale, a cloth weaver from Gouda; and his wife Lydia Mailliaerysde, from Leyden."
This Adrian could be an additional son of Pauwel Pauwelsz or a cousin.
The name "Van Arsdale", in Dutch, means "from Arsdale or of Arsdale". Charles R. Vanorsdale in July 1999 issue of Vanguard, newsletter of the Van Aersdalen Family Association, states that he has retained a Belgian genealogist, Gaston Roggerman, to obtain information of the medieval Vans. He states that the oldest record so far is from the List of Inhabitants of Nukerke, Belgium, is Arent Van Arisdale in the year 1396. In the July 2000 issue he states that Arent is listed as possessing citizenship in Geraardsbergen but living in Nukerke. This last from the book "Buitenpoortersboek van Geraardsbergen van 1396" translated "Book of Outside Citizens of Geraardsbergen of 1396." Geraardsbergen is just to the east of Nukerke. In the appendix of the book, the author states that the surname is derived from "Arents dal, later Arisdal, of St. Blasius-Boekel". St. Blasius-Boekel is an area near the town of Oudenaarde ("Old Earth") which is just north of Nukerke. According to Charles R. Vanorsdale "the Rijksarcief te Ronse in a letter to CRV dated November 16, 1992, "The name Van Aedsdale is coming from a place-name at Ronse."" Nukerke is very close to Ronse and is just north of Ronse. Charles R. Vanorsdale has a long article concerning the origins of the Van name and the Bornholm (Denmark) controversy in the July 2000 issue of Vanguard, Vol 3, No 1, pp 18-22. Vanorsdale states that Flanders was a phenomenal commercial center in the 12th through 17th centuries doing business with Britain, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Holland, northern Europe, and as far away as Russia. He states that the island of Bornholm is situated in the path of the major Baltic Sea shipping paths. It belonged to Sweden at that time. It has a town named Arsdale. But he states that "Arsdale" is found with several similar spellings throughout Scandinavia and the Low Countries.
In the July 2001 issue of Vanguard, Vol 4, No 1, p 2 Charles R. Vanorsdale states"...received the following marriage record from the archilves at Renaix (Ronse), Belgium" Larent vander Haghen & Kateline van Aretsdale 16 Jan 1366. ... Kateline's marriage predates the Arent van Arisdale citizenry record by thirty years".
