Research Notes

Need to determine where Henrietta Schaffer passed away. She may have been buried in West Babylon, New York, but she may have died elsewhere. See the following record with same name and date of death.

Name: Henrietta Schaffer

Death Date: 31 Jan 1976

Age: 80

Town: Naples

Certificate: 7600152

It has been determined that the following three census records do not belong to the Henrietta Schaffer of this profile. When researching Alfred Schaffer, her father according to the census records below, it showed that in 1930 his daughter Henrietta was living with he and his wife Lena along with her husband, Michael Feldstein, and their son. Not a match, since this Henrietta Sternberg married David Schaffer.

I've left these 1900, 1905, and 1910 census records in the research notes as a reminder of which Sternberg family was not hers.
