 (PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR A COPY OF THE INDIVIDUAL TRANSCRIPTIONS FOR THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE HOUSEHOLD.)
 
- The year of immigration is the same (1903) for Abraham and Sarah, their son Albert, and their daughter Rose. The other children's place of birth is listed as New York.
- The address is given as 5 Goerck St. (Note: It seems this street in the Lower East Side no longer exists.)
- The boarder (Yetta Moskowitz) is also from Russia, with an immigration year two years after the family's. 
- The family's birthplace (in what is today known as Poland) is described as "Russia" in some documents (including this 1910 census) and as "Poland" in some others (including a 1920 census). Much of Poland was part of the Russian Empire at the time.
- For the column "Able to speak English ; or if not, give language spoken," English is given for all except for Sarah and the boarder -- for both of them it says "Yiddish":
- For the column "Naturalized or Alien," it's blank for most, but it says "P" for Abraham and Albert. This may mean "first papers" -- as the official abbreviation for "first papers" was "Pa". ("First papers" meant that an immigrant had filed a declaration of intention to become a citizen, which was the first step towards naturalization.)
- For occupation, it says "Peddler" for Abraham, "Trav. Salesman" for Albert, and "Sewer" for Rose and for the boarder.
- For general nature of industry, it says "Costom" (??) for Abraham, "Dry goods" for Albert, and "Men's coats shop" for Rose and for the boarder.
- For "can read" and "can write," it says "no" for Abraham and Sarah, "yes" for Albert and Rose.
