I notice that the 1900 US Census also lists New Jersey as the birth place.
Margit Abel in the 1900 United States Federal Census Name: Margit Abel Age: 12 Birth Date: Jan 1888 Birthplace: New Jersey Home in 1900: Elizabeth Ward 9, Union, New Jersey Race: White Gender: Female Relation to Head of House: Daughter (Child) Marital Status: Single Father's name: John H Abel Father's Birthplace: Norway Mother's name: Martha Abel Mother's Birthplace: Norway Occupation: View on Image Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age John H Abel 37 Martha Abel 36 Margit Abel 12 Henry Abel 9 John Abel 7 Lillian Abel 5 Nicholas Peterson 27
As does the 1910 Census. So do I have the right Margit Abel and if so where does your information on her birth occuring in Brooklyn come from
Name Margaret Abel Age in 1910 22 Birth Year abt 1888 Birthplace New Jersey Home in 1910 Elizabeth Ward 6, Union, New Jersey
Kċarto: Getting familiar with posting and responding and have made a few mistakes along the way! Wanted to make sure you received my last query about what you said in the above reply. Can you elaborate on what you mean "the family name Abel is protected by the Law". Who is doing the protecting and what does that entail? thanks so much.
