I am looking for information on my ancestors Joseph Ackerman and his wife Julia (née Strauss).

Joseph Ackerman was born in about 1826 in what was then the Duchy of Nassau in the German Confederation. In 1850, he was living in New York City, working as an upholsterer, and married to Julia, who was born in about 1828, also in Nassau.

In 1860, Joseph and Julia were living in San Francisco.

Their children were: Julia Dare, Ada, Adolph, Arthur, Edward J., Samuel Joseph, and Emanuel Patrick "Patsy". All stayed in the San Francisco area.

If you have additional information, leads, or ideas, I would love to hear from you!
