This is a small excerpt from our full listing of settlers for the name Danis. Our PDF Extended History provide the complete listing from our dbase of over 500,000 settlers!
In England at this time, the uncertainty of the political and religious environment of the time caused many families to board ships for distant British colonies in the hopes of finding land and opportunity, and escaping persecution. The voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, though, and many arrived in North America sick, starved, and destitute. Those who did make it, however, were greeted with greater opportunities and freedoms that they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Early immigration records have shown some of the first Daniss to arrive on North American shores:
Danis Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
- Robert Danis, who arrived in Massachusetts in 1643
Danis Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century
- W Danis, aged 27, arrived in New Orleans, La in 1851
