1898 Application for Marriage License gives his occupation as bar tender. [1528]

According to his WW I draft card, Michael Rosenbloom's wife was Fannie Rosenbloom.

In Sept 1939, still lived in Braddock, PA (according to Sarah Simon Landau's obituary).

Abt 1942: His WWII draft card gives address as 1902 Beaver Ave. N.S. Pgh PA [377]

According to William Simon (Edna's brother), Fannie's husband Michael did come from Rochester, NY. Bill remembers when he was very little driving to Rochester with Jeanne Goldberg [Jeanette Rosenbloom] although he doesn't remember who else was along or what they did when they got there. He also says that Michael Rosenbloom's family owned or ran a movie theater in Rochester at some point in time.

Date of birth was July 4, but year uncertain:
- Marriage application lists July 4, 1874;
- 1920 census lists him as 41, so implies birth c. 1879;
- WW I draft card says July 4, 1888;
- WW II draft card, says July 4, 1880;
- Headstone says 75 in 1950, so implies birth c. 1875
- 1880 census lists a five year old Michael Rosenbloom in Rochester NY., which implies birth in 1875 if this is the same person
