He married [[Rose Barbanel (b.1890)]], herself born about 1890, and the couple raised at least three daughters: [[Jean Hertz (b.1913)]], [[Anna D. Hertz (b.1923)]], and [[Beatrice Hertz (b.1925)]]. Rose's line ties Morris into the Barbanel/Bernstein family; he stands to the compiler as spouse of a first cousin three times removed. Morris spent his adult life in America, and the household was enumerated in New York in the state censuses of 1915 and 1925 and in the federal censuses of 1930, 1940, and 1950 — placing the Hertz family in New York across those decades.[?] His daughters' birth years (1913, 1923, 1925) fall within that span, consistent with a household growing across the 1910s and 1920s. ## Research *(your reasoning — preserved across every rebuild)* ## Evidence ## Open questions - The five census sources cited in the MyHeritage biography are Ancestry record pages behind a login (HTTP 403) and could not be read here — **needs browser pass** to extract residence, occupation, immigration/naturalization, and exact ages for Morris and household: - [1915 NY State census](https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/2703/records/4034001) - [1925 NY State census](https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/2704/records/21130358) - [1930 US census](https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/6224/records/38679047) - [1940 US census](https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/2442/records/3751070) - [1950 US census](https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/62308/records/294269521) - Confirm New York residence (inferred from the 1915/1925 NY State census appearances) and pin down the town/borough. - Morris's immigration year and place of origin within Poland are unrecorded; the census images should supply an arrival year.
