Trenton's Jewish Census Figures for 1920

Trenton's Jewish Census figures for 1920
Arthur L. Finkle






Trenton's Jewish Census figures for 1920 was a population of 2,100.


Discounting 250 German Jewish and perhaps 50 Hungarian Jewish families, we have a remainder of 1,800 Jews.

Discounting single-person families, if we take a 'normal' family of seven Two parents and five children), we arrive at two hundred fifty-nine (259) families. (1800/7= 259 families).

Using combinations and permutations of children of Jewish families marrying children of other Jewish families, we arrive a remarkable inter-connected family in Jewish Trenton.
