Arnold Frick is standing there as godfather. What is curious is that in the birth registration of Maria Martina Frick, his sister born in 1893, it states Arnold Frick from Algeria. Did this Arnold then first go to America and a year later to Algeria?
Actually it states Algier, the capital city.
If we assume these entries to be correct, Arnold has moved to America first, then Algeria. It only states where he was living at the time of baptisms - if he possibly moved back and forth, and where he actually settled in the end, is still open - although that he settled in Algeria may be the more likely assumption.
I also tried to find the birth registrations of the younger children, but I couldn't find anything about it. Maybe some more information is standing in their registrations still. But the villages of Straubenzell and Bronschhofen, and Langenrain and Wältishus Niederbüren, in what book would they be written? I tried Niederbüren and Gossau already, and Sankt Gallen partly. But assuming the Arnold Fritz we talk about is the one posted earlier, on the previous page: a certain Arnold Fritz, aged 41, had a son Michel in Jemmapes in 1905. Married to Fantouch Khedidja bent Lakdar. It remains unclear still how this Arnold is related to the other family, the branch of Maria Martina and her uncle Jakob, who also lived in Algeria. That's the missing link somehow. Birth certificate Michel Frik, archives of Algeria. https://nl.geneanet.org/registers/view/ ... er=1008804
