A further benefit is that several responses...
My Life's Journey: Reflections Of An Academic
Dr Wai-Fah Chen — a Chinese-born American academic and widely recognized structural engineering specialist in the field of mechanics, materials, and computing — has certainly led a fascinating life. A well-respected leader in the field of plasticity, structural stability, and structural steel design over the past half-century, he has made major contributions to introduce the mathematical theory of plasticity to civil engineering practice, especially in the application of limit analysis methods to the geotechnical engineering field. Having headed the engineering departments at the University of Hawaii and Purdue University, Chen is a widely cited author and the recipient of several nation...

Descendants of Albert and Arent Andriessen Bradt
Albert Andriessen (1607-1686) and his brother, Arent Andriessen, immigrated from Norway to Amsterdam, Holland, where Albert married Annetie Barents in 1632. In 1636 they immigrated to Rensselaer County, New York. When he turned his property over to his eldest son, Albert moved to Albany, New York. The surname Bradt did not appear until about 25 years after their arrival (i.e. about 1660/ 1661), and its source is not known. Descendants and relatives lived in New York, New England, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, California and elsewhere. Some descendants immigrated to Ontario and elsewhere in Canada.
