1920 Federal Census of the USA
We find Emil in Brooklyn, New York age 36 years, described as a chauffeur in a Trucking Company. His date of naturalisation was 1903. With him his wife Minnie age 35 and their children. This census was fascinating to show not only where they were born, date of naturalisation, but also mother tongue.
Emilio had married also in the year 1903

By 1930 the family had moved to 37th Avenue and this census shows us that they now owned their home and that he was still working as a Trucker.
