Biographical
Julian Rogas was born in 1887 or 1889 in the Philippines. Details of Rogas's early life and his journey to the United States are unclear. The 1930 United States census, however, documented his immigration as 1915. At this time, he resided on Oak Street in Oakland, California where he worked as a janitor in a building. With little money and living as a single man, he could only afford shared housing with four other single lodgers. By the 1950 census Rogas was described as separated and living with seven occupants as a cook seeking employment. *Conflicting birth date: 1930 United States Federal Census, 1889. 1950 United States Federal Census, 1887.
