Study
Our thanks to Mary O'Dell of Hayden, Idaho who provided all of the information about Fritz and Pauline Trefzger who arrived in 1905, Fridolin and the rest of his family who arrived in 1909, along with all of the photos.
Thanks to Peter Trefzger who recommended we contact Mary O'Dell.
Comment
Although family records show that Fridolin was born in Wehr, no birth or baptismal records for Fridelin have been found so we can’t tie Fridolin into either of the 2 large Trefzger families from Wehr.
