Hi Bob I just ran into the same problem, seems like all the "Named" streets were changed to "Numbers" sometime after the 1930 Census. Many of my ancestors immigrated to Menominee in 1880's and 90's. I have been in touch with: Amber Allard Spies Public Library Menominee, MI 49858 906-863-3911 splill@uproc.lib.mi.us And she has been very helpful on giving me the present street number from the name. I would also like to get a old map, but so far haven't been able to locate one.

Cliff, I just got a reponse from someone who indicated that.... "Somerville Ave is the present day 12th Avenue." But I would also like to determine exactly where 305 Somerville Ave used to be, since according to a current city map, 12th Avenue extends from 22nd down to 16th Street, and then again from 11th Street, ending at 6th Street. There is a large area where there are no streets until one reaches 1st Street. Perhaps what used to be the 300 block of Somerville is now a large park or owned by a huge corporation. I think I'll try the library. Thanks for the suggestion. - Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "cmag" <cmag@prodigy.net> To: <MIMENOMI-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2003 4:08 PM Subject: Re: [MIMENOMI] Where is Somerville Ave in Menominee? > Hi Bob > > I just ran into the same problem, seems like all the "Named" streets were > changed to "Numbers" sometime after the 1930 Census.

if someone on list cant tell you where you can get a copy of the conversion'- old to new - try public works or streets/sanitation at the village.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "cmag" <cmag@prodigy.net> To: <MIMENOMI-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2003 4:08 PM Subject: Re: [MIMENOMI] Where is Somerville Ave in Menominee? > Hi Bob > > I just ran into the same problem, seems like all the "Named" streets were > changed to "Numbers" sometime after the 1930 Census.
