Notes:
Carpenter. Albert left Syria because otherwise he would have been drafted into the army. He came to the US on the S.S. Finland, bound fron Antwerp to New York, passenger ship list dated 11 Aug 1920. There exists a photo of him and Tamini Husni carrying the date of 20 Aug 1920, taken at DeYoung's Studio, Broadway & 17th St., New York. He married his wife at the United Presbyterian Church, Union City, while residing at 494 Bergenline Ave., Union City. The witnesses were Rose Tabeck of 547 Central Ave. and his uncle Naji Husni. He worked for Moser Lumber Company, New York, before becoming a carpenter in New Jersey. He lived at 140 Oak St., Weehawken, in 1930 and rented at 478 Palisade Ave in 1940. He and his wife bought a 25 by 100 foot vacant lot at 133 Shippen Street, Weehawken, from Frederick Husni in 1932. In 1942 he worked for Keuffel & Esser Co. in Hoboken. They lived at 102 Highpoint Ave, Weehawken after 1942. Albert died of parathyroid cancer in Oakland Manor, an alternative clinic run by Dr. Max Gerson in Nanuet, New York. He lies buried in Grove Church Cemetery, North Bergen.

NYPL1 gives his age as 23 in 1920. HUS36 gives his birthdate as 1908, but this seems too young for the photo of 1920. CEN1930 gives his age as 28, CEN1940 as 37. WWIIREG3 gives his middle name as Najeeb and his birthdate as Oct. 1, 1900.
