This is the 1920 census form which shows that Henry Seiter was living with his family at 300 78th street in Manhattan, New York City. Click on the picture to enlarge.
The family is listed in lines 28 – 36. Henry’s second wife, Elizabeth had three children from a previous marriage – Elsa [born in Germany], Eva and Emile Myers who are listed in lines 34 – 36.
On this form, Henry reports that his father was born in NY, but we know from other records that his father actually came from Germany. Henry’s children James and Anna are not listed as living with him – they are included in the 1920 census as living with living with Elizabeth Beresheim, their aunt – sister to Catherine [Marr] Seiter – I have been told that James and his father did not get along that well.
The form shows that he was a painter. It notes his 17 year old son, John, was a dentist and says that his adopted daughter, Eva, worked in a “Beader factory” even though she was only 15 years old.
