dont get your hopes up but this might be worth somthing Abraham Goldstein b. 1834 (Kepno?, Posnan, Prussia) came to Oroville, California 1851 with brother Nathan and married Sarah Rose Goldberg born 1845 in New York city of parents both born in Prussia. She must have come to Oroville, CA (via San Francisco?) around 1864 and married Abraham Goldstein at that time to have children aged as they were. Dont know her parents' names. First son named Samuel so her father might have been named Samuel. Other sons named Leon, Milton, Walter; daughters named Lulu, Violet, Blanche, Vivian. Abraham died 2 April 1907 in San Francisco at the home of his son Leon. Goldberg, Sarah Rose born 3Nov1845 19 June 1922 SF first records in CA ~1864 I think her father might have been Israel.
