My grandfather, Heinrich Franz Eduard Arntzen was born 1Mar. 1839 in Suedlohn, Weswtfalen, Prussia. He became a Norwegian citizen before he emigrated to the US. He settled in Quincy, IL, USA in 1856. I am trying to find information on his Norway connections and his travel to the United States.

| Looks like his US Census records are under Edward Arntzen and he married 5-20-1869. In 1860&1870 in Quincy, Adams County, Illinois then in 1800-1900 in St. Louis, St. Louis MO. The 1900 census has Immigration Year: 1856. He died 1906 so there isn't a 1910 census record. |

Hi Ed,
Do you know if he came to the U.S. by himself or with others? At 17, he could of traveled on his own, but you never know. Also, do you know if he left family behind in Norway?

Heinrich came to Norway and became a citizen before he was 17.
From that we can assume he came with his parents.
Do you know the profession of his father Johan Teodor Josef Arntzen. Was he an officer taken service in the Norwegian army, was he a miner since many Greman miners worked in Norway?
Arntzen don´t sound German but Norwegian (Scandinavian) to me. The only place in Germany the name seems to exist is in Westfalen in Prussia.
Perhaps the origin of Arntzen (Arntz son) is Norwegian since he/they settled down here in the early 1800.
Still many ifs and no answers, sorry.
More we know about this family, better it could be to find him.
