Trenton's Jewish Census figures for 1920



Trenton's Jewish Census figures for 1920
Arthur L. Finkle

Trenton's Jewish Census figures for 1920 was a population of  2,100.

Discounting 250 German Jewish families and perhaps 50 Hungarian families, we have a remainder of 1,800 Jews.

Discounting single person families, if we take a 'normal' family of seven (two parents and five children), we arrive at two hundred 260 families. (1800/7= 259 families).

Using combinations and permutations of children of Jewish families marrying children of other Jewish families, we arrive multitudinous inter-related families in Jewish Trenton.

Can you refine my math or should I get a mathematician to find the correlative probability?
