Pauline arrived with her brother Fritz from Basel, Switzerland on the Princes Alice from Bremen, Germany on May 20, 1905.

Then sometime before 1909 she went back to Basel because a passenger list and records from Ellis Island show that Pauline arrived with her family on 7/24/1909, from Basel, Switzerland on the La Lorraine, from La Harve, France.

Fridolin and his wife (who was homesick) along with their daughters returned to Basel in 1912.

Pauline returned to the U.S.A. from Bremen, Germany to New York, NY on April 24, 1913.

Pauline married Eugene Herbster in 1919. Three years later in 1922 Eugene died of a heart attack. They had a son Eugene born 12/19/1922 who died 7/10/1977 of a heart attack.

Study
Our thanks to Mary O'Dell of Hayden, Idaho who provided much exact information about Fritz Trefzger who arrived in 1905 and Fridolin and his family along with all of the photos.

Comment
Although family records state that Fridolin was born in Wehr, Baden no birth or baptismal records for Fridelin, his wife or any of the children have been found so we can’t tie Fridolin into either of the 2 large Trefzger families from Wehr.
