< From what I gather, Jack was first married to Hazel Nick Agalsoff. She died 12 Oct 1928 in Los Angeles, CA. According to the 1930 census, Jack was already married to Esther. I could not find the 1920 census for this family. The children on the census were John and Rachel (which could belong to the first wife); Mary and Nick are shown to belong to the 2nd wife's previous marriage; however, Nick shows up on the CA birth index with Agalzoff as his mother, which is Hazel. So now that means who is Mary's father? > Jack. Hazel was the Mother of all 4.
