Treasure Chest Thursday: 1905 NY Census, Rappaport and Ett

The earliest record I have for Clara Ett (my grandmother Tillie Liebross Wilson's first cousin) and her husband Adolph Rappaport is their New York City marriage license in 1903. Their next appearance in the records is in the 1905 New York State census. They lived at 299 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn with their son Max and Clara's sister Sarah Ett (enumerated as Sarah Att) who had just arrived in New York two years before.
