• Notes

  Note that in the 1900 Census, the family name is written "Tetakovsky" (transcribed as "Tetakoosky"); in 1910, "Teterofsky" (transcribed as "Teterophy"); in 1915, "Tetakofsky" (transcribed as "Tetckefsky"); in 1920, "Takofsky". Also, in naturalization papers, Morris reports his ship as the Albbe which arrived 10 Dec 1891, but this appears to be incorrect. A ship's manifest shows him having arrived on 12 Jan 1892 in the Scandia with his mother and brother.
