I was looking up my paternal grandparents, and discovered that the census information is online, but at a pay site called ancestry.com. They have a "free trial" option, but it requires giving them a credit card, and I don't want the information that much (especially since, if I've got the right record, they got his date of birth wrong).
If you'd be willing to follow a couple of links for me, and let me know what they say, please let me know. If not, no big deal; this is idle curiosity.
The record of where my grandparents (and thus presumably my father and aunt) lived in 1930 is, I think, number six on this page.
I'm also curious about where he lived in 1920, and any records of entry, via the port of Philadelphia, likely as Asher (or Usher) Rosenzweig.
Addendum and clarification:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aitchellsee got me the page in question, which tells me that my grandparents' birth language was Yiddish, and that the census bureau, or at least the person who compiled this page, listed that as "Jewish." It also shows both my grandparents as having come here in 1921, so they won't be in the 1920 census, and that's a starting point for landing records. I'm going to see what Ellis Island can offer.
The English name he used was Arthur; Asher or Usher was his Hebrew name, and I don't know what Russian name, if any, he used before emigrating. My grandfather was born in Russia in 1898, I believe August; my grandmother also in Russia, in 1901, probably March. They immigrated separately, and I think were from different towns in Russia.
