I posted this on the image, but so it's more accessible for the conversation, I will put it here as well. This is a translation of the birth record, according to chatgpt (with a self-diagnosed 95% accuracy):
In the year eighteen hundred forty-six, on the eighth day of the month of June at eight o’clock in the evening,
before us, Nicolas Hecht, Mayor and civil registrar of the commune of Nordhouse, canton of Erstein, department of Bas-Rhin, appeared Auguste Zerr, aged twenty-nine years, laborer, residing in this commune, who presented to us a male child born today at two o’clock in the morning to him and to Marie Anne Hiegele, his wife, aged twenty-six, without profession, residing also in Nordhouse, and declared that he gives the child the names Albert Nicolas.
The said declaration and presentation were made in the presence of Albert Zerr, aged twenty-six, laborer, brother of the declarant, and Jean Georges Krafft, schoolteacher, aged thirty-three, residing in this commune.
The father and witnesses signed the present birth certificate with us after it had been read aloud to them.
So a minor difference is obviously the day of the month, which is indicated as 6/8/1846 instead of 6/30/1846.
More significant is that it mentions that his father's name is Auguste Zerr, which differs significantly from this record which specifies Pierre Hugelen. The name of the mother is close enough to be a likely match.
I don't know the source for the 6/30/1846 birthdate on this record, but is it possible this birth document is for a totally different person born around the same time and place? Theoretically, there could have been a different father (August Zerr) and then he was later adopted by Pierre, though I'm sure that would have been incredibly rare.
