The Arendt Family Home Page

I am searching the ARENDT or GRAU family of Cook County, IL. Joseph ARENDT married a Barbara GRAU in 1881 then moved to WI. I know that there were brothers/sisters and step-brothers/sisters of Joseph. Some supposedly moved to MN. His father name is Nicholaus ARNT. Supposedy, Joseph was born in Grisbury, IN in 1855 but I have been unable to verify this.
I am also looking for information on the Richard BLOUNT family of Nottingham, England approx. 1860. He was married to Martha SIMPSON. They had at least one son, Harry and two daughters. Harry and one daughter came to US with Richard in early 1900's. They settled in central WI. Martha and oldest daughter stayed in England.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am willing to share information. Thank you.
