What date and ship did the Beck family arrive in San Francisco
« on: Tuesday 17 October 23 02:00 BST (UK) »
Hello everybody,

I am interested in finding out the date and the name of the ship that the Beck family arrived in San Francisco. Quite a while ago I did find out about the family - please see the link: https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=691953.0

What I can confirm is that the family left for San Francisco in 1883 (a date of 1860 is incorrect).

The mother was born in 1860 in Denmark, she immigrated to New Zealand with her family in 1873. She married Peter Beck in 1876 and 8 days after marrying they became parents to Anna (all sources say 1877 - but incorrect and was done to make it look good. The mother was mostly known as Ciliana, but was also known as Ciliane, Annie, Juliane and on the marriage certificate Sarah Young.

You can see the family here: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/100905780/ciliane-marie-beck

Their daughter Anna also on occasion used the name Annie.

Thank you :)
