"Update" Johann Henrich Arend, and Anna Martha Bax came to the states in the early 1870's with their 6 children. So, They set foot here 147 years ago. They are listed on both New York, and Hamburg with the name spell Arendt. They took 2 boat ride's in order to get to USA. First they traveled to Leith, Scotland from Hamburg, and Then went to New York from Glasgow, Scotland.
Anna Martha surname was either Box or Bax. Found out her surname really spell Bax not Box. Someone got her parents listed as Johannes Bax, and Anna Catharina Schlag. So, I went up to the 1500's on her side. To Hans Albert, and Thrina (Katharina) Lowmann from Besse, Edermünde, Hesse, Germany, and also couple of others.
I have notice that John and Anna ancestor's carry the same surname "Hellmundt"
