I don't have any answers to your questions, but I did find a 22 year old August Blumberg in the 1900 census in San Francisco with wife Lena. He was born in New York. Don't know if this is your guy, but if it is it might add more to the mystery.

I found him too. I suspect that he is the one I am looking for. His sister moved to San Francisco and lived there the rest of her life. The details in the census match up with him. I think I am going to try to contact the church they were married in to see if they have any information. I found the marriage license notice and the wedding notice in the newspapers so I have the date to give them. An unanswerable question - Why do relatives NOT want to talk about the ancestors? I am sharing with my children everything I have learned. I'm also leaving a lot of documentation for them. They have copies of everything that I have. People ! ! ! ! !
