Moritz F Aufrichtig & Family - Census Listings

Moritz F Aufrichtig emigrated to the U.S.A some time between 1864, when he was in receipt of a travel grant in Boskovice, Moravia and 1869, the year he married Betti Zeimer in Manhattan, New York. He and his family have been included in the following Censuses, details from which have been reproduced in the tables below. It is interesting to note that at various points in time, Moritz's birthplace has been credited to Austria, Germany, Bohemia and Moravia, with virtually each "new" location assigned to a variation in spelling of his name!

1880 U.S. Census - San Francisco - Emuneration District 142 At the time of the Census on 8 June 1880, Moritz F Aufrichtig, wife Betti and four children were living at 116 Sixth Street, San Francisco.
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Morris Aufrichtig	Head	Married	Male	White	34	Austria	Austria	Austria
Bertha Aufrichtig	Wife	Married	Female	White	31	Austria	Austria	Austria

Louis Aufrichtig	Son	Single	Male	White	6	New York	Austria	Austria
Lilly Aufrichtig	Daughter	Single	Female	White	2	California	Austria	Austria
NOTE: Moritz's first son, aged 9, was named Samuel. From this it may be deduced that his father Samuel L Aufrichtig, born 1814, died some time between 1864 and 1871, the year of his son's birth. Moritz's Occupation was given as Watchmaker. On what appears to be the first Census in which he is featured, Moritz's name has been Americanised to read "Morris Aufrichtig". NB: Moritz's daughter Rachel is credited with having been born 28 October 1879, but does not appear on this Census form.

1900 U.S. Census - San Francisco - Emuneration District 166 At the time of the Census on 2 June 1900, Moritz F Aufrichtig, wife Betti and daughter Rachel were living at 509 Franklin Street, San Francisco.
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Morris Aufrichtig	Head	Married	Male	White	55	Germany	Germany	Germany
Bertha Aufrichtig	Wife	Married	Female	White	50	Bohemia	Bohemia	Bohemia
Rachel Aufrichtig	Daughter	Single	Female	White	20	California	Germany	Bohemia
David Levitzky	Boarder	Married	Male	White	64	Hungary	Hungary	Hungary
Rosa Levitzky	Boarder	Married	Female	White	52	Bohemia	Bohemia	Bohemia
Morris Ritch	Boarder	Married	Male	White	25	Bohemia	Bohemia	Bohemia
Lillian Ritch	Boarder	Married	Female	White	22	California	Germany	Germany
NOTE: Moritz's Occupation given as Jeweler. Daughter Rachel is listed as a Secretary. On this form, Moritz's birthplace has been listed as Germany and Betti's as Bohemia. Credited on the form as Morris Aufrichtig, this was subsequently wrongly transcribed as Moses Aufrichtig. NB: The Census suggests Moritz and Bertha had four boarders. Of these, David and Rosa Levitzky had previously been included on the 1870 Census as residing in No.4 Precinct 10 Ward, San Francisco, and in the 1880 Census as living with their infant son Reuben in Hayes Street, San Francisco. They subsequently appeared on the 1910 U.S. Census as living in Duncan Street, Oakland, Alameda, California. Particularly worthy of note are third and fourth boarders, Morris Ritch, aged 25, born in Bohemia to similarly native parents, and his wife Lillian, aged 22. There can be little doubt that these are Maurice Reich, who, one year earlier in 1899, married Lilllian B Aufrichtig, the daughter of Moritz and Betti. The German name "Reich" means "rich" and Maurice appears to have inserted an additional letter "t" to form the name Ritch. The Census form credits his month and year of birth as April 1875, a fact reinforced by the 1920 Census (further down this page) confirming Moritz's son-in-law as being 45 at that time. Lillian Ritch's Census details of a July 1877 birthdate are consistent with those of Moritz F Aufrichtig's daughter

1900 U.S. Census - San Francisco - Emuneration District 204 At the time of the Census on 1 June, Samuel Aufrichtig, eldest son of Moritz F Aufrichtig was living at Buchanan Street with his wife Estelle.
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Samuel Aufrichtig	Head	Married	Male	White	30	California	Germany	Germany
Estelle Aufrichtig	Wife	Married	Female	White	26	California	Germany	Germany
NOTE: Samuel and Estelle, each with a birthday in July, were technically still 29 and 25 on the night of the 1900 Census. According to the San Francisco Call newspaper, the couple had married in 1895. The 1900 Census form entries had been incorrectly transcribed as Samuel and Estelle Aufrechtig.

1900 U.S. Census - San Francisco - Emuneration District 184 The June 1 Census lists an Ike Upright and his wife Jennie Upright. Original Census form is torn and details of the couple's address is missing.
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Ike Upright	Boarder	Married	Male	White	30	New York	Germany	Germany
Jennie Upright	Boarder	Married	Female	White	26	California	Mississippi	England
NOTE: The details on this 1900 San Francisco Census entry almost certainly identify Ike Upright as Isaac A Aufrichtig. Handwritten entries give Ike Upright's date of birth as April 1871 and age as 29, and list Jennie's date of birth as November 1876, and her age as 23 [Isaac's age has, variously, been credited as April 1871, 1872 and 1873. The New York birthplace matches that of Isaac Aufrichtig, as does the Germany location for his parents. According to this entry, Ike and Jennie Upright had been married two years. Isaac A Aufrichtig is believed to have married Mabel Gruman, the mother of his two sons, in late 1895.

1910 U.S. Census - Los Angeles - District 227 At the time of the Census on 22 April 1910, Moritz F Aufrichtig and wife Betti were residing at 3927 Dalton Avenue, Los Angeles
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Moritz F Aufrichtig	Head	Married	Male	White	65	Austria Bohemia	Austria Bohemia	Austria Bohemia
Bertha Aufrichtig	Wife	Married	Female	White	60	Austria Bohemia	Austria Bohemia	Austria Bohemia
NOTE: The 1910 Census appears to be the only occasion on which use is made of a middle initial. The form was completed as Moritz F Aufrichtig, but wrongly transcribed as Mortiz F Aufrichtig. Bertha [Bettie] died one year later on 29 April 1911.

1910 U.S. Census - Los Angeles - District 227 At the time of the Census on 22 April 1910, Rachel [Rae] Aufrichtig and husband Lawrence E Thompson were residing at 3915 Dalton Avenue, Los Angeles
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Lawrence E Thompson	Head	Married	Male	White	43	California	Massachusetts	United States
Rae Thompson	Wife	Married	Female	White	26	California	Austria Bohemia	Austria Bohemia
NOTE: Chronologically, Rachel Aufrichtig should be placed following the 1910 US Census entries for her older siblings Samuel, Isaac and Louis Aufrichtig. However, she has been placed directly following Moritz Aufrichtig's entry since according to the Census document, she was the very next listing and would appear to have lived next door to her father. The Census form credits Rachel and Lawrence Thompson with having been married for six years. Her age has been wrongly entered as 26 - her 28 October 1879 birthdate would have made her 30 years of age at the time.

1910 U.S. Census - San Francisco - Emuneration District 250 At the time of the Census on 16 April 1910, Samuel Upright was living alone as a lodger in Buchanan Street.
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Samuel Upright	Lodger	Married	Male	White	37	California	Ger German	Ger German
NOTE: The combination of the name Samuel Upright and residence in Buchanan Street would suggest that this is the same Samuel Upright that lived in this road at the time of the 1900 Census. At the time of the 1910 Census, Samuel would have been 39 and not 37. It is difficult to determine whether the entry next to his marital status indicates M for married or W for a widower.

1910 U.S. Census - Portland, Oregon - Emuneration District 155 At the time of the Census on 16 April 1910, Isaac A Upright, wife Mabel and son Raymond were residing in Park Street, Portland, Oregon
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Isaac A Upright	Head	Married	Male	White	39	New York	New York	New York
Mabel Upright	Wife	Married	Female	White	27	California	New York	New York
Raymond Upright	son	Single	Male	White	3	Oregon	New York	California
NOTE: The 1910 Census form confirms Isaac's middle initial and gives his age as 39, suggesting a birthdate of April 1871.Mabel's age is given as 27, suggesting an October 1883 birthdate instead of the 25 October 1886 date with which she has been credited. Almost certainly, this Census provides an accurate year of birth, since the form also advises that the couple had been married nine years. Birthplaces for both Isaac's father and mother are, of course, totally inaccurate.

1910 U.S. Census - Oakland, Alameda - Emuneration District 85 At the time of the Census on 23 April 1910, Louis Upright, wife Blanche and sons David and Irving were residing in Oakland Township, Oakland, Alameda, California
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Louis Upright	Head	Married	Male	White	36	New York	Austria German	Austria German
Blanche S Upright	Wife	Married	Female	White	31	California	Germany German	Austria German
David H Upright	son	Single	Male	White	15	California	New York	California
Irving E Upright	son	Single	Male	White	12	California	New York	California
NOTE: The 1910 Census form confirms Louis' age as 36, but lists Blanche as 31. Blanche had been 30 in the February and only 15 years old when son David H Upright had been born in April 1895. Places of birth for Louis' parents appear to reinforce ruling country at the time Moritz and Bettie were born.

1920 U.S. Census - San Francisco - Emuneration District 200 At the time of the Census on 16 January 1920, Moritz F Aufrichtig was a widower and described as a "Boarder" living at Post Street.
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Moritz Aufrichtig	Boarder	Widower	Male	White	74	Bohemia	Bohemia	Bohemia
NOTE: Incorrect Transcription of the 1920 Census form led to Moritz's name being listed as "Monty". On the form he had entered 1884 as his year of immigration to the United States. In all probability this date referred to U.S. naturalisation as he is recorded as having married in Manhattan in 1869 and by 1884 all seven of his children had been born.

1920 U.S. Census - St Louis. Missouri - Emuneration District 592 At the time of the Census on 22/23 January 1920, Isaac Upright, wife Mabel and sons Raymond and Rodney were visiting St Louis and staying at Rushing Avenue
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Isaac Upright	Head	Married	Male	White	49	New York	Bohemia	Bohemia
Mabel Upright	Wife	Married	Female	White	35	California	New York	New York
Rodney Upright	son	Single	Male	White	5	Oregon	New York	California
Raymond J Upright	son	Single	Male	White	13	Oregon	New York	California
NOTE: In similar fashion to the 1910 Census, Isaac's age of 49 would suggest a birthdate of April 1871 and not the 5 April 1872 date with which he has been credited. This Census form also suggests that on the day of the Census in January 1920, Mabel was 35 years old. Unlike previous Census forms, there was no required entry for the number of years marriage.

1920 U.S. Census - San Francisco - Emuneration District 200 At the time of the Census on 7 January 1920, Lillian [Lily] B Aufrichtig Reich, husband Maurice Reich and three sons were described as Boarders in Sutton Street, San Francisco
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Morris Reich	Head	Married	Female	White	45	Austria Bohemia	Austria Bohemia	Austria Bohemia
Lillian B Reich	Wife	Married	Male	White	41	California	Austria Bohemia	Austria Bohemia
Sylvan Reich	son	Single	Male	White	17	California	Austria Bohemia	California
Joseph Reich	son	Single	Male	White	15	California	Austria Bohemia	California
LeRoy Reich	son	Single	Male	White	11	California	Austria Bohemia	California
NOTE: Lillian B Aufrichtig was born 14 July 1877 and would have been 42 on the night of the Census. Husband Maurice was entered as Morris.

1920 U.S. Census - Los Angeles - Emuneration District 348 At the time of the Census on 6 January 1920, Rachel [Rae] B Aufrichtig Keith was living with husband Clarence F Keith, his mother and sister in Dalton Avenue, Los Angeles, California.
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Clarence Keith	Head	Married	Male	White	41	California	Indiana	Indiana
Rae Keith	Wife	Married	Female	White	35	California	Germany	Bohemia
Ella Keith	Mother	Single	Female	White	67	Illinois	Vermont	Indiana
Martha Keith	Sister	Single	Female	White	31	California	Indiana	Illinois
NOTE: Rachel [Rae] Aufrichtig was born 28 October 1879 and would have been 40 on the night of the Census, not 35 as stated. This census form provides a similar age discrepancy to that given in the preceding 1910 Census when Rachel's age was entered as 26 instead of 30. Clarence F Keith was born 17 April 1877 and would therefore have been 42. NB: In 1910, Rachel had been married to Lawrence E Thompson for six years. The couple appear to have divorced since he appears on a 1920 Census form as married to Taduska Thompson, 38 and living in La Salle Avenue, Los Angeles.

1930 U.S. Census - San Francisco - Emuneration District 234 At the time of the Census on 16 January 1920, Moritz F Aufrichtig was Head of a household of five persons residing at 344 Seventeenth Avenue, San Francisco, California.
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Moritz Aufrichtig	Head	Widower	Male	White	84	Austria	Moravia	Bohemia
Carrie Upright	Niece	Widow	Female	White	58	Czechoslovakia	Czechoslovakia	Czechoslovakia
Egon J Upright	Nephew	Single	Male	White	19	Czechoslovakia	Czechoslovakia	Czechoslovakia
Robert Upright	Nephew	Single	Male	White	24	Czechoslovakia	Czechoslovakia	Czechoslovakia
Elain Myrtle L	Nurse	Married	Female	White	26	California	Kansas	Ohio
NOTE: Moritz's name had been incorrectly transcribed as Morrit Aufrechtig. On this occasion, his country of birth had been listed as Austria and his father's given as Moravia. With him on the night of the Census were Carrie Upright, described as "Niece" and nephews Robert Upright and Egon J Upright. Carrie Upright, however, was in fact Kamilla Patzowski, Moritz's niece through her marriage to Eduard Aufrichtig, the son of his elder brother, Gabriel Aufrichtig. Her son, Egon, was thereby Moritz's great nephew, as was Robert, eldest son of Heinrich Aufrichtig,and grandson of Moritz's other elder brother, Alois Aufrichtig. Kamilla's eldest child, daughter Valerie Aufrichtig, had been the first of her family to emigrate to the U.S., arriving at Ellis Island on 20 December 1920 aged 20. Her cousin, Robert Aufrichtig, at 17 years of age, followed her, arriving at Ellis Island on 22 July 1922. Each had entered their uncle Moritz Aufrichtig on the ship manifests as their U.S. contact. Kamilla and Egon are believed to have completed the family presence following Eduard's death some time between 1923 and 1928. Kamilla, Egon and Robert all applied for and were granted U.S. naturalisation, following which they changed their name from Aufrichtig to the literal English translation of Upright, as had Moritz's sons before them. Another visitor to Moritz Aufrichtig had been Berta Aufrichtig [02], daughter of Alois Aufrichtig and Franziska Schwarz. Travelling on the SS-Noordam to the U.S., her manifest entry had stated that she was visiting her uncle Moritz Aufrichtig in San Francisco. Her own birth year of 1876 suggested that she was the twin sister of Heinrich Aufrichtig.

1930 U.S. Census - Los Angeles - Emuneration District 19-74 At the time of the Census on 11 April 1930, Louis Upright, wife Blanche and son David H Upright were living in Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California.
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Louis Upright	Head	Married	Male	White	56	New York	Germany	Holland
Blanche Upright	Wife	Married	Female	White	50	California	Germany	Holland
David H Upright	Son	Single	Female	White	35	California	New York	California
NOTE: Ages credited to Louis and Blanche are accurate, and confirm that she was only 15 when son David was born. No trace has been found for either Louis or Blanche on a 1920 Census, but in 1910 each had listed Austria as the place of birth for their mothers, and the entry of Holland is unexplainable.

1930 U.S. Census - San Rafael, Marin - Emuneration District 19-74 At the time of the Census on 14 April 1930, Lillian [Lily] B Aufrichtig, husband Maurice Reich and son LeRoy Reich were living in San Rafael, Marin, California.
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Maurice Reich	Head	Married	Male	White	54	Austria	Austria	Austria
Lillian Reich	Wife	Married	Female	White	51	California	Austria	Austria
LeRoy Reich	Son	Single	Male	White	21	California	Austria	California

1930 U.S. Census - Los Angeles - Emuneration District 119-112 At the time of the Census on 24 April 1930, Rachel [Rae] B Aufrichtig Keith was living with husband Clarence F Keith in South Ridgeley Drive, Los Angeles, California
Name	Relation	Marital Status	Gender	Race	Age	Birthplace	Father's Birthplace	Mother's Birthplace
Clarence Keith	Head	Married	Male	White	53	California	Indiana	Indiana
Rae Keith	Wife	Married	Female	White	46	California	illegible	Prague
Patricia D Upright	Niece	Single	Female	White	12	California	California	California
NOTE: In 1920,, Rachel gave her age as 35 instead of 40. Ten years later she was credited as being 46 when it should have read 50. On this occasion, Clarence F Keith's age is accurate having held his 53rd birthday the previous week. Entries for places of birth for Rachel's father are indecipherable and feature deletions, including the country Austria. There are similar crossings out for her mother's place of birth, alongside of which has been entered "Prague". If this were accurate, it would provide the only available documentation to date for Bettie Zeimer's place of birth. Staying with Rachel and husband Clarence was Patricia D Upright, grand-daughter of her elder brother Louis Upright. Patricia's father and Louis's son, Irving Elliott Upright, had died of TB and his widow, Winona Lindberg Upright had become too sick herself to take care of her.
