Joseph & Yettle Goldfuss "Ethel" & Abraham Goldfuss
On the 6 January 1920 US Federal census was Joseph Goldfus b: 1868 in Russia at age 52. His wife was Ethel. they were in Baltimore, Ward 5, Maryland. They arrived in 1902. Joseph was NA in 1914. Ethel was 50 years old. With them was their son, Abraham, age 24. They were all born in Russia and spoke Hebrew. Joseph was a tinner with his own shop. Abraham was a musician in an orchestra. They lived on Gary Street in a rented house.
On the 3 April 1930 US Federal census was Joseph Goldfuss age 60 b: 1870 in Nowmop, Russia and spoke Yiddish. He and his wife, Yettle were both 60 years old and were born in the same place as were their parents. They immigrated in 1905, probably the same year as my grandfather, Nathan Goldfoot. Joseph was a tinner and contractor. They were found living in Baltimore, Maryland, where there were no farms in the neighborhood. It has been very rare to find the name of the city and country such as this showed. Now I have to find where Nowmop was.
On the 18 April 1930 Federal US census we find his son, Abraham Goldfuss age 34, as a musician in a hotel living in Atlantic City, 1st Ward, New Jersey. He was born in 1896 in Russia. He was married to Henrietta age 34 who immigrated in 1923 from Germany. Her father was born in England but she had a German mother. They lived in a Jewish neighborhood and paid $70 for rent. It looked like they were living on Oriental Avenue.
