Hi Everyone, I am hoping someone can help me see through the forest to the correct tree. I have come to a dead end trying to find out how Filimon Julius Traung came to San Francisco. He was born in Arvika, Sweden, 8 Mar 1822 and died in San Francisco, 1911. He came to America from Arvika, Sweden after 1845. He seems to have arrived in New Orleans where he may have met his wife, Emilie Staffellbach. There is reference to her being born in New Orleans and near St. Louis. Her parents were Austrian, German or Swiss. I know he was living in San Francisco in 1855 when his first child was born. In San Francisco, he changed his first name to Lewis. Lewis was a Master Sailor when leaving Sweden, but did not continue sailing after arriving in San Francisco. He did work in the marine industry though until he died at 89. My question, how did Filimon Julius (Lewis) Traung and wife arrive in San Francisco, by wagon train or ship? When did they actually arrive?
