2. ↑ Year: 1892; NOTE: Some records give birthplace as Sweden. However, Henry Traff declared in his "U.S. Naturalization Application, Declaration of Intention" that he was born in Vexo, Russia, and that he was renouncing "forever all allegiance and fildelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, and particularly to Nicholas II, Emperor of all the Russias, of whom I am now subject." On the other hand, Henry declared on his 1942 WWII Military Draft Registration card that he was born in Smalend, Sweden.
