Question - His surname on birth certificate is Reitsma. Was his use of 'Reitz' in America a personal choice, or does it reflect general practice in the Netherlands?
I have found both Reitsma and Reits in the U.S. from Holland. I know 'Reits' is Reitz, but Reitsma?

Reitz is a German name, and I was looking if the above was connected to me some how as I have an ancestor Reitz that came to Amsterdam around 1795. A descendant of his migrated to the US in 1893 his name was Hendricus Gerardus (Henry) Reitz (born may 26 1860 Amsterdam) married to Johanna Gezina Elizabeth Buttinger (born April 14 1861 Groningen). They ended up in Michigan I believe.
About Albert I sent more info to the Profilekeeper, but here is his personal card from Archives of Amsterdam it’s show we are talking about the same person https://archief.amsterdam/indexen/deeds/98533412-36e1-56a3-e053-b784100ade19
