Germans came to USA

Took me about 6 months or a year to find the list of them coming to USA. before 2010

Johann Henrich and Anna Martha "Bax/Box" Arend and their 6 children either went through Netherlands, Belgium, or France to get to England. They possible took a ship around England to land in Glasgow, Scotland. Either way they went to Glasgow to get on a ship called S/S Australia that was going to the United States. They aboard Australia on Apr 6 1872, and landed in New York, United States on Apr 15 1872. It only took 8 or 9 days to cross atlantic ocean. After they landed they maybe traveled elsewhere. John probably took his family to Nebraska before they decided to Settle down in Quincy, Illinois. They have arrive in Quincy on 1874 the same year their oldest got married.

This is base on what I found about the ship and on their Obit's.
