A.Nathan Goldstein was born in Prussia 1836 [ Kepno in the province of Poznan] and was in Oroville, CA by 1852. He came to USA the year after his 3-year older brother Abraham arrived. Nathan married Ernestina Asher (born 1849 also Poznan) . By 1867 they owned A.Goldstein & Bro. dry goods and clothing . They split around end of 1870s . Abraham Goldstein was born 1834; between 1861-1864 married Sarah R. (Rose?) Goldberg (born NY 1850, mother born NY, father born Prussia) and produced Lulu Rose (Yinna) b.1865 (who married Bernard Ephraim in 1881, Samuel A. 1867, Leon A. 1869, Milton 1871, Violet C. (Lotte?) 1873, Blanche 1875, Walter P. 1878, and a daughter 1888. A Chinese male 'servant' cooked for them named Ah Gim, born Canton . Abraham moved to San Francisco early in 1870s but probably back ~1885. If anyone knows about any of these, but especially Sarah Goldberg from New York, I would appreciate hearing from them.
