In 1902 his wife Nizha Blanco (1872-) and four children: Rahamim (Raymond, b. 1889), Rose (b. 1893), Abraham (b. 1894) and Rena (b. 1899) joined him. The youngest child, David, was born in New York City in 1903. After living a few years on the Lower East Side, Yousef's family settled in Bensonhurst, then moved to Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn.
