Research notes: The 1910 census indicates he was 8 months old in April 1910 when the census was taken, for a birth date of Aug or Sep 1909. A search of the New York state birth index on Ancestry for 1909 and 1910 under Berg, Bergh, Burg, and Burgh did not locate a birth record for him. A FindAGrave entry for Buster Berg has birth date, relatives, and location that are consistent with those for Abram.
