In addition, if those fail, I'll search for several of the neighbors (from the previous census), as well as looking for the enumeration of the address using Steve Morse's tools.doseashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18300067523630554935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011190131897264422.post-19618479282337673052021-02-22T01:14:51.568-05:002021-02-22T01:14:51.568-05:00Just last night, I gave that advice to a cousin-in...Just last night, I gave that advice to a cousin-in-law who has family last seen in the 1905 NY State census.Israel P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03299487916354097046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011190131897264422.post-30069996796412828572021-02-21T23:12:45.463-05:002021-02-21T23:12:45.463-05:00Stephen P.

But this does sometimes work (this isn't the first time, for me). But yeah, Henry messes things up.

I often find, tho, that street name spellings are even more mangled than people's names and the house numbers are not always consistent with surrounding records. Ymmv. Also, of course, if your enumerator was #HenrySilverstein, all best are off. :-)Tammy Heppshttp://homesteadhebrews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011190131897264422.post-28976469764653827452021-02-21T13:17:18.429-05:002021-02-21T13:17:18.429-05:00I search the given name of the youngest child thou...I search the given name of the youngest child thought to be alive at the time, with year and place of birth, and given names of parents and siblings, with the presumed city of residence. No surname (or at most a minimal one: first initial with wildcard).

With key addresses in my research, I use historical maps from the counties/library/historical society and actually make gifs of the changes of the street over the years. Helps me visualize changes and the maps have helped me find street name changes too.Michelle H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11767832586253004025noreply@blogger.com
