This is why your post was so interesting to me, because within my Buch family, the names Arthur, Frieda and Amelia are used. All I know is that Charles & Amelia Buch emigrated to the U.S. in 1869, probably through N.Y. to Philadelphia. Their five children were: Charles, Frederick, Ella, Lizzie and William Charles, my grandfather. They all left Philadelphia except Lizzie & Wm., going to N.J. or N.Y.
