NOTE: Removing from birth place field: Arras, Artois province, ruled by the Spanish Habsburgs not France (now Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France); so it will stop showing up as an error. Also adding "Spanish Netherlands" to the place name as Artois was, at the believed time of birth, not a part of France (Artois became part of France after the 1618-1648 Thirty Years War, during the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659).

No new facts, just running into information and trying to make sense of it. I am pretty sure I read on a forum somewhere that there were Du Rietz/Durietz in Germany who left, I think, for America. Hence the pondering. More investigation is needed. :)
There is the son we know nothing about. Maybe he was the origin of those who "left". Not he himself as one of the immigrants, as the only information on him is that he was born, remained, died in France. At some point I hope to find if he ever married and, if he did marry, if he had children. (That is a task for another day, however.)
GF came to Sweden before Revocation of the Edict of Nantes 1685 wich caused thousands of Huguenots to leave France. According to the literature, GF was in a delegation to the camp of Gustav II Adolf (Queen Christina's father) in Germany and there he probably learned Swedes, but have there ever been any DR's in Germany. Have you some new interesting facts or is it a missunderstanding. Perhaps sticker for Huguenot is best because GF does not seem to have had to fly France.
I've been wondering about the Huguenot aspect. GF was a Huguenot, but was he part of the emigration, or was he before it. Could the Du Rietz/Durietz in Germany who were part of the emigration be his descendants, or at least related to him, as he was in Germany around the time of Queen Kristina.
Should we add a sticker for Huguenot, or the category?

You did very well translating for me, better than I managed on interglot.com (my "go to" online translator (it does French and German, too)).
