My family (JOBB, POTH, FORD) were from Austria Hungry and settled in Elizabeth about 1901-1903. POTHS and JOBBS all worked at the Singer factory. Mathias POTH lost his fingers at Singer. He use to play violin and it was added stress to him to have to give up playing. I would be happy to share any information on these immigrant families.
