Joseph (Josephus?)Frison. Born 1858 in Hambach Rheinfolz, Germany. Possibly christened Dec. 1858, Katholisch, Hambach, Pfalz, Bayern, Germany. Occupation - wordworker. Father- Karl (Caroli?), mother- Marguritta (Margarrthae?)Fink. Came to New York, then moved to Champaign, Illinois area around 1889.
Some of the names had different spellings in reference materials, hence the question marks for possible spellings. Some of the Germany places could be mis-spelled because everything I have is in old script type writing.

Let me try to bring some clearity about names and places:

Hambach: is not Hamburg. So you are in the wrong folder here. Actually the federal state of Rhineland-Palatine (German: Rheinland-Pfalz) has two places called Hambach, but according to your wording, it can only be "Hambach/Weinstrasse", today part of Neustadt/Weinstrasse, located a little North of French province Lorraine. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neustadt_an_der_Weinstra%C3%9Fe

The federal state Rhineland-Palatine was created in 1947 as a merger of the Southern part of former Prussian Rhineprovince and former Bavarian Pfalz (= Palatine). Capital today is Mainz.

The names Joseph or Josephus are only German and Latin spellings. As the people were Catholic (= katholisch), they might have used the Latin name for some Church registration.

So further on I looked up familysearch.org and found the following entries:

Parents:
father: Karl (or Caroli) Friedrich Frisson
mother: Margerethae Fink

children:
Carolus (= Karl) Frisson, christianized 08-Jan-1843

Adamus (= Adam) Frisson, chr. 16-Sep-1845

Joannes Eduardus (= Johann Eduard) Frisson chr. 25-Jun-1849

Josephus (= Joseph) Frison, chr. 07-Dec-1858
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/igi/individual_record...

The family name "Frisson" or "Frison" sounds French, but could mean that the ancestors came from Friesland: only a guess.

More details would be available in the church records of Hambach. The website of the church is http://cms.bistum-speyer.de/pa_hambach/
It is all in German, but try to send an eMail over the Kontakt link to get more information. They might find extracts of the church records for you.

Thank you for the information and other search ideas. Like I said in my post, I was trying to read hand-written data and the names and areas were spelled several different ways. According to verbal family history they came from an area where depending on the timeline was German at times and French at other times. My mother always referred to Alsace Lorraine area but I don't have anything to prove this. And I have always questioned the spelling of FRISON knowing that many coming over to U.S. changed the spelling. Again, thank you for the ideas. Gale
