Migration of the Battenberger familyBetween the 17th and 20th centuries, hundreds of thousands of Europeans came to North America, and many Rhinelanders were among them. They had many various reasons for making the choice: to escape poverty and persecution, for adventure, and for the opportunity to own their own land. Ellis Island, one of the main American immigration centers, saw many settlers as they moved on to the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, Illinois, California, and New York. In Canada, they found homes in Ontario, and on the great plains of the Midwestern provinces. The Battenberger were among of the early German families that came to North America: Herman Battenberg, who came to Pennsylvania in 1749; Christian Battenberg, who arrived in New York City in 1782; Henry Battenberg, who settled in Philadelphia, Pa. in 1855..
