Migration of the Burron family
Many Germans emigrated across the Atlantic to seek better lives in North America. This great migration began in the middle of the 17th century and continued into the 20th century. Resettlement was particularly attractive to those from Westphalia as a means of escape from poverty and religious persecution. For many Westphalian farmers, the chance to own one's own land was also a major incentive. The process of the widespread colonization of the United States began in 1650, when many immigrants from Germany settled in pockets in Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, Illinois, and California. In Canada, German settlements centered around Ontario and the Prairie provinces. Among them: A Mr. Burren arrived in Virginia in 1623; Anthony Burrin who arrived in Virginia in 1623; Susanna Beurin who was registered in New York City in 1710; Hans Jacob Buerer who arrived in Pennsylvania in 1742.
