Hi I came across this info when I was surfing for no particular reason or thing, hope it helps. If you scroll down to the bottom of the info it shows the name Arrand as an emmigrant name. Bietigheim Geography: The Bundesstrasse (Federal Route) 36 is one of the main traffic arteries of the county of Rastatt and runs through the community of Bietigheim in the northern part of this county. With a population of more than 5,200, this is not one of the smaller communities of this county. Here, as in many other striving communities, agriculture has taken a backseat to the smaller and mid-size industries, now dominating the economic structure. History: Bietigheim was first mentioned in the year 991 under the name Buadincheim. Remnants of the old foundations and Roman coins point to a settlement during Roman times, and a Roman trades route leads past the settlement to Baden-Baden. During the 13th century, a local noble family ruled the town, whose dependents were vassals of the Court of Eberstein. Possessions of the monasteries of Weibenburg, Herrenalb and Lichtenal, as well as the margrave of Baden have been documented. When the margraviate remained catholic after the withdraw of the Swedes in 1634, it meant continuity for the Bietigheims, at least concerning their religion. Previously they had to switch denominations repeatedly even within one century, due to the constant change in rulership. In 1808/09 and upon invitation by the Russian Czar, several Bietigheim families had emigrated to Rastatt and Seyer in southern Russia. After 1848, many more Bietigheim residents were looking for a new home in the United States.
