At the end of January I learned about the Algerian connection on Allison's Halter side of the tree. Marie Rose Halter, half-sister of Allison's 4th-great-grandfather Francois Antoine Halter, moved as a young child with her father Jean Pierre Halter, mother Rosine Bauer, older brother Antoine, sisters Marie Françoise and Josephine from Bas-Rhin, France to Oran, Algeria. They likely made the journey across the Mediterranean with other Halter cousins and extended family.
Marie Rose was born in Birkenwald, Bas-Rhin, France on 29 January 1849. She first appears in the records of Arzew, Algeria in 1877, when she married Constant Mathurin Soulard.
