Complete information about the 1910 census: it was taken on April 25 1910 in Aspen Street, Philadelphia, PA.
The person who conducted the Census wrote "Dora Ronek" - Ronek was either an earlier version of Rounick or a misspelling of Rounick.
The hosuehold included:
* Harry Eisenstein, 36, born in Russia, occupation: Installment - own business. Immigrated: 1898 (?), Naturalized.
* Wife Lena, 35, born in Russia, married to Harry for 14 years, has 6 children, (out of which) 3 living children. Lena immigrated: 1901
* Son Maxwell, 11, born in Russia, immigrated 1901
* Son Archibald, 9, born in Pennsylvania
* Son Hyman, 7, born in Pennsylvania
* Niece Dora Ronek, 22, born in Russia, immigrated: 1906, occupation: Operator of shirts (or skirts)
* Niece Eva Ronek, 18, born in Russia, immigrated: 1907, occupation: Operator of waists
* Harry Viederman, 25, born in Russia, immigrated: 1905, occupation: Operator of Suspenders
Strangely, the Census lists Dora and Harry V. as single and not husband and wife and lists Harry Viederman as cousin of head of household Harry Eisenstein. This requires further research.
