I have been trying to locate my ancestry that goes back to that area and wonder if I could get an address or contact details for the Fricke brothers to write and ask them if they know of my family there in Altona. They did leave there in the 1800’s and came to German occupied Samoa and finally settling in Tonga. However, I do believe that a branch of the family may have remained there. They weren’t members of the LDS Church but many of us who have descended from the Pacific Islands branch of our family have joined in great numbers and it would be great to finally get a glimpse of my German ancestry which has been difficult to extract over the years. I would appreciate your response and look forward to hearing from you shortly. Most kindly John Hettig. ps. William Jacob Diederich Hettig was the ancestor who was born around 1874 in Altona and moved to the Pacific around 1891.
