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.
