DAVIS FAMILY
Solomon Davis passport application, 1889.
The Davis Family seems to be one of my farthest back ancestors to have immigrated to this country from Prussia, modern day Germany. Solomon Davis and his wife Sophia immigrated to the United States in 1865. They went on to have four children; Abraham, Lily, Louis, and Delia. My family personally did not know of the last two children but all of the information matches with the family.
Sophie's parents seem to have also immigrated here, I am still working to confirm but they're names are Joseph Wronker and Amela Uln, from Prussia.
Solomon's father's name is Abraham, according to his brother's death certificate.
Abraham J. Davis is my great-great grandfather, below is from the 1880 census living with his parents and sister.

Abraham J. Davis married Estella Rosenthal in October of 1899. She was originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Max Rosenthal and Sarah Fass, also from Prussia.
Below is Estella living with her parents, uncle, and brothers; Samuel and Joseph in 1880 in Manhattan.

Abraham and Estella went on to have three sons, Joseph, Simon, and Solomon. Abraham worked at the Post Office, which was supposedly a respected job. (A "proud" fact that seems to gone down generations)
