Migration of the Laks family

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Laks or a variant listed above: Ann Lax who arrived in Virginia in 1731; George Lax who sailed to America in 1744 and Christian Lax who arrived in Philadelphia in 1792.
