Notes
a. Note:   1. 1890 Census
 2. 1900 Census - age 7 - resided at 189 Bower St, Jersey City NJ with father Amandus and siblings Christine, Johanna, and Amandus; Also residing at this address were extended family members Albert ( Amandus brother) his wife Mary and their children Albert and Alma.
 3. 1910 Census
 4. 1920 Census - age 27 - resided on Hutton St, Jersey City NJ with wife Frieda and children Arthur, Evelyn; listed occupation as brakeman on the railroad and both parents born in NJ:
 Also on separate Census Listing found reference to Gustav and Catherine Massing, both age 38 and residing at 108 Beach St, Jersey City NJ. What's odd about this is that there are no other references to this couple anywhere. Given that Gustav was a philanderer, cheat and a con man, it's quite possible that he was a bigamist or lead a separate life apart from his legal family. Daughter Lucille reports that Massing was a family name but, that doesn't appear to be accurate.
 5. 1930 Census - age 37- lived in rented home at 1097 Summit Ave, Jersey, City, NJ with wife Frieda and children Arthur, Evelyn, and Lucille. Lists mother and father having been born in NJ and occupation as a commercial traveler in dry goods. Also lists that marriage occurred at age 21
 1942 - World War II draft registration # U684 - age 49 - resided at 64 Sherman Place, Jersey City, NJ with wife Frieda (spelled Freda); showed that he was unemployed and telephone # JO4-6944;( later changed to Webster4 -6944 per daughter Lucille Corby Somerville).
  From the early 1960's Gustav (self renamed George) lived in the Ft. Lauderdale area of Florida. Up until his death until 1980, he resided with a woman named Bess. SS death index shows birth date 25 Nov 1892 vs draft registration 20 Nov 1892.
