Find Ancestors

Hi, I'm trying to find some details of my partner's grandmother, Sarah Dorothy Rehling, born about 1900, who was Dutch, we think, possibly German. Possibly living in Rotterdam before marrying David Sweeney in London around 1920ish. Any help appreciated.

I wonder if this is them.

An adventurous voyage has just been brought to a successful termination by the arrival at San Francisco of Frederick Rehling. Accompanied by his wife and seven children, he set sail last March from Gaudan, the largest and southernmost of the Ladrone Islands in the Pacific, and made the trip of 6,500 miles in a schooner of only 12 tons burden.

Looking at the birth registrations of the children one would doubt that the voyage was for the same family.........
