Hi George Yes we had located Rudolph in the 1886-87-88 San Francisco Directories, actually that is how I learned of him, and some years his address is the same as my GGM so I assume he was some realative. Do you know what was the criterion for being listed in the directories What I would like to find now is where he came from in Germany. I have family in Amsterdam, Holland that wiill take the chase from there, so I am trying most any place I can think of. Bob Specht
