My great-grandfather Eugen Hermann Friedrich, supposedly born in America (don't know what state) in about 1888 - his parents Carl and Anna (nee Schmidt) got married in Nuremberg in 1883 and it says on their marriage certificate that Carl's mother Therese (nee Bauer) was living in America - the story is that Carl and Anna had two sons in America and then Carl died and Anna returned to Germany with the two boys. The other son is supposed to be called Otto Friedrich and to have worked in an observatory on the Zugspitze mountain. I've been googling around and found one match which must be him - not sure if this link will take you to the Google match or not:
"hochsten Einwohner des deutschen" - Google Search
Anyway, it says REVIEW.It SPECIAL PAPERS ON GENERAL METEOROLOGY.---
Friedrich, Otto. Vorn hochsten Einwohner des deutschen Reiehs, p. 152-15 [Description of Zugspitze meteorological observatory, by the observer]
I'm assuming that "vorn" is probably supposed to be "von" and "Reiehs" is supposed to be "Reichs", but anyway, when I click on the link I get an American Meterological Society AMS Journals "Online Server Error" page. And using the AMS's advanced search, I can't find the article.
Any ideas how I could find a copy of this article? Or can anybody find any other reference to him anywhere? There are some more famous people called Otto Friedrich, which doesn't help, but if it mentions that he was on the Zugspitze then it should be him.
