To the left is a copy of the official 1940 census which Shows Zaidy on line # 72. There is alot of interesting information over there if you can make it out.
Below is a list of some of the things written:
Address 1568 St. Marks Ave. in Brooklyn NY.
They did not own the house, rather they rented, the amount says 36, I am assuming it means $36.00.
There was a 26 year old boarder in the house named Murray something(I can`t make out the last name).
It says Zaidshe, and Bubishe had both completed as 8th grade, Zaidy 7th grade, Uncle Suchie 6th, Uncle Meyer 1st, and Tanta Rivka who was two at the time did not complete anything. (The lodger that`s listed it says "H-2", which means 2nd year of High School,I guess 10th grade)
It says Zaidshe put in a 40 hour work week the week of March 24-30.
Zaidshe was an agent for "New York Life Insurance"(most of us have seen those black boxes with his name on it, if anyone has a picture that they can forward to me, that would be awesome).
It also says the class worker of Zaidshe was "OA" I did some research apparently that means "Working on own account"
The last thing is in Column 33 it says "Did this person receive $50 or more from sources other than money waged or salary"? and the answer was Yes.
