He could read and write and speak English.<\/li>\n<li>He owned his house, which was mortgaged.<\/li>\n<li>He immigrated in 1895. The census shows he had filed first papers for citizenship and was naturalized in 1919.<\/li>\n<li>He worked for wages as a sweeper in a shop.<\/li>\n<li>Petronela, his wife, was a married white female, 52 years old.<\/li>\n<li>She and her parents were born in Poland and their native tongue was Polish. She could read and write and speak English.<\/li>\n<li>She immigrated in 1898. The census shows that she was an alien naturalized in 1919.<\/li>\n<li>She did not work outside the home.<\/li>\n<li>Daughters were Mary age 18, Helen age 16, Jennie age 14, and Florence age 10, all born in Massachusetts.<\/li>\n<li>All the daughters were single, white females who could read and write and speak English.<\/li>\n<li>Mary, Helen, and Jennie were not attending school. They all worked as Valentine designers.<\/li>\n<li>Florence attended school in 1920; she did not work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note that Adam and Petronela were shown to be naturalized in 1919. This does not agree with the statements that Adam had only filed his first papers and Petronela was an alien. Nonetheless, since Adam filed first papers, those papers should be available and should show the name of the Polish village where he, his wife, and three eldest children were born.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Mary, Helen, and Jennie were between the ages of 14 and 18, none of them attended school.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Copyright \u00a9 2007 by Stephen J.
