    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WMB.2ACE/4846 Message Board Post: Group, I've transcribed the street names within St Louis's 1910 enumeration districts, and that file is now up on the Morse One Step site at: http://www.stevemorse.org/census/index.html With this file you can find an enumeration district from an address for 1910. I thank Dave Lossos who provided me a high resolution 1930 digital map of St. Louis. I also worked from a 1943 map, and used the boundary definitions of the EDs from NARA T1224. All street names within all EDs were transcribed (to the best of my abilities), but if there are obvious errors let me know. The Morse website also has a section on street name changes, which should prove helpful for these types of searches. If I was aware of a street name change since 1910, I included both names within the EDs. Since the maps I used were 20-30 years more recent than 1910, also expect street names shown on the database that didn't exist in 1910, but that's a plus with our search system. Also...a historical note/treat. My procedure is to scan the T1224 boundary pages so I can work with them on my home computer. While looking at the boundary definitions, I found that some bored? census employee had used 4 of those pages to doodle art work, probably from 1911. He/she even signed one of the pictures.... a dancing dog!!! and I've put that image up on my website: http://members.cox.net/census1930/ This website contains many of the files that the One Step search engine is based on. Enjoy... Joel Weintraub and the One Step Team.
