When my grandfather was born there in 1887 it was Union Township. Parts of it merged with West New York and North Bergen, leaving Union Hill. Union Hill merged with West Hoboken (where my mom was born) in 1925 to become Union City. Lauren Maehrlein Maehrlein's Heirlines Plant a tree, then start your family tree.

Hi John thank you for the clarification. I also was under the impression that parts of Weehawken and North Bergen were split up into UC and vice versa. As far as UC the street numbers changed soon after it was established. Where I lived was formerly 469 Summit Ave and changed to 2309, however I am not sure of the exact year but certainly before the 1930 census. I also found that house addresses changed and where my parents lived in Weehawken before I was born (I would have to look it up in my records) but it was only minor but a difference of 2 numbers changes the house or apt. that you are looking for. I was able to find this out from the UC post office who has an old directory with the transformations (anyway 8 years ago they did) That is prob something that the library should have a copy of -- if they do not already. You need to talk to an old-timer in the PO to know that it exists.

My sister went to St. Michaels grad. 1939. She said St. Michaels became a fancy apartment at the time. He son put his name on the waiting list which my sister living in Wychoff said was funy for all the years she wanted to get out of Jersey City. We mvoved my mother out of Montgomery street in 1958 and the area was not so hot. I attened Ferris High original building near Henderson St. grad. 1947. You can say we are old timers. Moved out of JC (St. Bridget's) in 1950. Moved to MO and raised 5 boys. It was a great place to raise a family but now in AZ for the past 20 years. Do go back to NJ for FTM research every few years.

My sister went to St. Michaels grad. 1939. She said St. Michaels became a fancy apartment at the time. He son put his name on the waiting list which my sister living in Wychoff said was funy for all the years she wanted to get out of Jersey City. We mvoved my mother out of Montgomery street in 1958 and the area was not so hot. I attened Ferris High original building near Henderson St. grad. 1947. You can say we are old timers. Moved out of JC (St. Bridget's) in 1950. Moved to MO and raised 5 boys. It was a great place to raise a family but now in AZ for the past 20 years. Do go back to NJ for FTM research every few years. My ggfather was born in Morristown 1832. So you see were are Jersey Girls.
