Hi Carole.... The Albert in the photo was born 5/13/1897 which is a close match. However, he is one of 15 children, not two, and I am pretty sure was born in IL. His father was Fred Dietrich born in Germany in 1858.The Dietrich family were in-laws to my g-grandfather John Behrndt and probably migrated from Prussia to the Chicago area in the 1860's. A large number of families from Chicago bought land and created a German settlement near Iuka , IL. 26 of these families started a Lutheran church about 1875. Behrndt family was among them, but Dietrich was not, so I don't reallyknow further Dietrich information. My sunday-school teacher was one of the 15 children. (1940's)
The father, Fred, could be a brother or related to your Frank Albert. They are about the same age, and born in Germany. That would make your Albert a cousin to the 15 siblings in the photo.Is this helpful?Alan
