There is no proof that Max was born in Marsellis, France. My guess is that he was born in Russia.
I added a passport application which lists his birth date and brith place.
Also, census lists his birthplace as France pretty consistently. 1910, 1915, 1920, 1925, 1930, all say France.
Thank you for that information, however, there is no immigration information. Wasn’t his siblings born in Russia? Ever the skeptic , Beverly
