The House on Schneck Avenue

The house Nan lived in when she was five in Brooklyn, NY. From the 1930 Federal Census, the Deegan and Weymer families lived in the other apartments in the building. The Deegan’s had a teenage son and a teenage daughter, and the Weymer’s had a 21 year old son, and a six year old son. In addition to her parents and sister, Nan’s grandmother lived with them in their apartment.  Her father’s occupation is listed as an Operator, and the industry on the census appears to be “Monotype” but it’s a little illegible, so I’m not entirely sure.  Her grandmother is listed as a Cook, and her industry is completely illegible, so I have no idea who she would have been working for.
