DAVID WEISS WITH SIX CHILDREN - 1900 CENSUS - MANHATTAN
NOTES:
- This census form shows David Weiss (Julia's father and Ruth's grandfather), age 54, living in Manhattan with six children.
- Two of the children living with David (Regina and Jake) were Julia's younger siblings, from David's first marriage to Helen Greenbaum, and four of them (William, Esther, Sadie, and Eddie) were from David's second marriage to Anna Brown or Braun; so they were Julia's younger half-siblings. (This information is taken from the "Schwartz-Weiss Family Tree" created by by Gladys (Schwartz) Kaminsky in 1980.)
