Birth[1][6] Abt 1730 Hamburg, GermanyWithout any corroborative evidence, it can only be considered as being very likely that Arnold Mello was born in Hamburg. It should also be noted that Hamburg at that time was still "a free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire," which was only dissolved in 1806. Not until 1815 did Hamburg become part of 'Germany'. And even then it was an "independent and sovereign state" within the German Confederation.
