To confirm oral family tradition of the emigration of some Antony family members,
I'm researching the family of John Lorenz Anthony. I'm especially interested in anwers to the following questions:
What is the year of immgration of John Lorenz Anthony?
Where and when did he marry his wife Margaretha Wagner?
When did he join the Lutheran church? (He supposedly was baptized Roman-Catholic)
The family is possibly linked with the Antony family of Johannes Antony in Quirnheim, Germany.
