Hi Diane, According to a mapquest map of N.P. today, a portion of Cedar Street (or Ave.) still exists. It runs from Jefferson to just before Wilson Avenue where you can see that Route 22 does play a part. You mention your ancestor being there around the late 1800s so you might be interested to visit the 1899 map of North Plainfield-Plainfield. There are but two houses shown on all of Cedar Street. One at the corner of Cedar and Harrison and the other next door. http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/map_item.pl?data=/gmd381/g3814/g3814p/pm005250 .sid&style=gmd&itemLink=D?gmd:42:./temp/~ammem_7dGt::&title=Plainfield+and+N orth+Plainfield,+N.J.+1899.+ Set the zoom at the 2nd position from left and the image at 640 x 480. The map has a vertical dividing line in center. You want to set your pointer about in the middle of the Left side and approximately 1/8 down from the top. You may have to do some further fine tuning but this will put you in closeness to Cedar St. Hope this is useful, and good luck, Jan in Calfiornia ---------- >From: "Diane M Stanley" <sierentz@worldnet.att.net> >To: NJSOMERS-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Cedar St, North Plainfield >Date: Mon, Aug 7, 2000, 8:09 PM > > Does anyone know what happened to Cedar Street in North Plainfield?
