Paul STRUWE from Memel to the USA (CA?)
Hello,
One of my ancetors called PAUL STRUWE were immigrating to America around 1913.
He lived in Memel (Klaipeda) in East Prussia before and is said to be born in the Rhineland.
He had an illegitimate daughter called LOTTE in Memel (my greatgrandmother). He left his girlfriend MARIE KURSCHAT and his daughter back in Memel and went to America.
He was young so he has probably descendants there.
He must be born around 1888 and came to the USA around 1913. I don't no exactly to where he moved to.
But I found this person in the "California Passenger and Crew Lists, 1893-1957":
Name: Paul Struwe
Arrival Date: 31 Jan 1913
Age: 25 Birth
Date: abt 1888
Ethnicity: German
Ship Name: Cleveland
Port of Arrival: San Francisco, California
Port of Departure: Honolulu, Hawaii
-> He could be this person. So I am now searching for Struwes primarily in California.
If you may know something, please contact me!
