Biography

Nathan was born about 1892 in Galicia, Austria. His parents were Beide Auerbach and Jennie (Schreier) Auerbach.^[1]

Nathan emigrated to the United States in 1906^[2] or 1908.^[3]

In 1910, Nathan and his brother, Isaac, lived in Brooklyn, Kings, New York, United States as boarders in the household of Ike Auerbach, his wife Esther, and their chidren, Willie and May.^[4]

Nathan marred Jennie Thau on January 12, 1913 in Manhattan, New York, New York, United States.^[1]

If Nathan registered for the World War I draft, he may be the Nathan Auerbach who registered^[5] June 5, 1917, stating that:

• He was born November 28, 1891 in Godwoloerzs, Galicia, Austria and was still an Austrian citizen.
• He was married and lived at 643 E. Mott Street in Manhattan.
• He was an electrician employed by S K Flaum & Co. at 225 Grand Street in Manhattan.
• He was of medium height and build with brown eyes and brown hair.

In 1920, Nathan and Jennie lived in Manhattan, New York, New York, United States with their first two children, Hyman and Gertrude.^[2]

In 1930, Nathan, Jennie, and their four children, Hyman, Gertrude, Sylvia, and Martin, lived in Brooklyn, Kings, New York, United States.^[3]

There are several death records for Nathan Auerbach, but which, if any, are for this Nathan Auerbach has not been determined^[6] (see Notes). If Nathan was buried in the same cemetery as his wife (who died in 1944) then he probably died November 9, 1961^[7] or October 25, 1963^[8] (see Notes).

Notes

There are other families with very similar names, dates, and locations that can cause confusion when attempting to identify birth, death, immigration, and census records. No connections between them have yet been identified.^[9]

• Nathan Auerbach was born about 1892 to Baruch Auerbach and Frieda (Wachman) Auerbach in Vienna, Austria. He emigrated to the United States about 1906 and settled in New York City, where he married Jennie Fischelberg in 1916 and had children named Saul, Hannah, Tillie, and Eleanor.

• Nathan Auerbach was born about 1883 in Russia. He appears to have emigrated to the United States in 1912, however he married Jannie or Fanny Ialowsky in New York City in 1905 so something is not correct. They had a child named Hyman.

• Nathan Auerbach married Jennie Norman in 1926, also in New York City.

• There are eight more New York City marriage records between 1905 and 1929 for different men named Nathan Auerbach, creating great difficulty in untangling records for all these different families.

There is a third Nathan Auerbach buried in Mount Hebron Cemetery, who died July 16, 1962,^[10] however he was born in 1886, which does not match this Nathan's data of birth.
