My second great grandparents Max and Hannah were Russian immigrants. They spoke Yiddish and records were found for Max’s naturalization in 1888. Hannah’s maiden name was confirmed to be Steinberg when I located a detailed record of their eldest daughter Rosie’s marriage in 1905. Max’s occupation was documented as a Furrier.
What follows is a timeline taken directly from the records.

Noted on this census Hannah had 4 children, 3 living. This is conflicting information as 1900 has 5 children. Rosie was married in 1905. I wonder if the census notation meant children who would be living in the home at this time, thus referring to Annie’s death. I was not sure. I can’t find any further information related to Annie Corman; death or marriage.
Their older child found on census records living in their own homes: Rose w/ Samuel
Max Corman died in 1914. He appears on interment records at Mount Zion with a burial date of April 1, 1914.
