Hi Lisa, Perhaps I did not make myself clear. The addresses are there, but the Assembly Districts (Wards), and Enumeration Districts had changed from 1870 to 1890. Thanks.

Have you tried any of the mapping programs like mapquest or expedia where you can enter the address you are looking for and get a map? I know that these are old addresses and you might also first want to check to see whether there was any changes to addresses as the town changed -- post office might be able to help or town clerk or assessor's office. This happened to me in Union City which used to be Union Hill and West Hoboken. I had a lot of addresses that went through a conversion. The Union City post office has a directory that was published in the 1940's by the now merged Hudson Dispatch, which listed all the conversions -- they might have Jersey City as well -- but you have to realize that there are some who are ignorant of this fact. I was just lucky that the person that I spoke to found the reference in the basement somewhere and called me back -- so whoever you speak to -- be persistent, the postmaster would know and make sure you reference the Hudson Dispatch publication.of 1940.

Seaarching for a Thomas Conroy that lived in the Jersey City area in the 30's. He was a truck driver and a heavy drinker,possible chance that he went blind from it.

My father was named Michael A. Anyone with any information please e mail me at timlorr@warwick.net Ed Conroy

Hello List, I've spent the last 2 days going thru the 1880 census of Jersey City looking for several addresses. I asked for help with the Wards, and was successful with a few, but they only had maps with the 1870 & 1890 wards, and they had all changed. This was at the Trenton Archives. I'm looking for: 1. Front St. near Academy 2. Clarke Ave. near Old Bergen Rd. 3. 96 Central Ave. These are all addresses from the 1880 Directory. EDs would also come in handy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Having posted what I found out was a hoax message on paying for email, I'm almost afraid to ask a genuine question. I am looking for John Dammann who, I think lived in No. Bergen. At least, he was sworn in as a citizen in 1856 at the No. Bergan Court House. I had what I thought was a cemetery card for him and his wife in The Evergreens in Brooklyn. Imagine my surprise when I found out that the John who was buried there in 1879 was a baby and the NYC Archives couldn't find a death certificate for S. Dammann, who I thought was his wife Sophie. I know that he died when my grandfather was a child and Sophy married again to an abusive husband. My grandfather ran away from home after that. Not enough info to ask for a DC. I've written to The Evergreens twice and the woman has been very helpful but they don't seem to have much information, either. Marion Markham Does anyone have an idea about where I go from here.

What newspapers served this area in 1865. I am looking for an obit for my G.G Grandfather Albert Strathmann.
