• Here are my notes about this document:
  • The first name given for Sonia is "Sofie."
  • "Pasner" is an error by the [modern] transcriber. (I submitted a correction request to ancestry.ca.)
  • The street name on the census form is hard to read, but I believe it must be Jamaica: the street on the previous page is Lykens Ave., and according to Street Name Changes in Queens, New York there used to be a Lykens Place in Hollis whose name was changed to 91st Ave. And Google Maps shows that present-day Jamaica Ave. is near 91st Ave. Also, Jerome's naturalization documents show that in 1921 and 1922 he lived on Jamaica Ave.
  • So I believe the address to be 18603 Jamaica Ave., Hollis, Queens (see this address today in Google Maps).
  • Everyone in the family is a U.S. citizen; Jerome's date of naturalization is listed as Jan. 31, 1922. (And at that time the wife of a male applicant for naturalization would have been naturalized along with him, automatically.)
  • Jerome's occupation is News Dealer, Sonia's is Housework, and the children's is School.
