Hi All: The purpose of these lists are to help each other in our mutual quest to find our roots. Here is a little something that I would like to share with you which came to me from another list. This tip might prove helpful in the event that we find ourselves in a similar situation while researching the upcoming 1930 census.   The subscriber was puzzled that the Enumeration District micro film for 150th St., showed only addresses ending in even numbers and not the odd ending number he was looking for. Several responses indicated that the 150th St. address he was looking for, may be the dividing line for two ED's. Even numbers were in one ED and odd numbers were in the other ED.  Suggestions were to look at the other ED film. I hope that this will be helpful. Take care and good hunting Jim McCarthy

Hi , This dividing among ED's can make the line right down a street so that the odd are in one ED and the even are in another. If the street is long as I had in my case, Bethune Street, then the street can be in more that two ED's. This would mean you have to view the "whole" film to catch the parts which will be through out the film, not one behind the other. Or on more than one film. If one has a specific address that still exist today, I plug it in the map programs available e.g. Maps on Yahoo, to see where the address is and the cross streets. Hope this helps.
