The census sheets for Queens have been filmed by the FHL (LDS) and there are libraries that have the information. The 1925 census is not name-indexed. Instead, you need to know an address of your target person, and from that figure out the Assembly District and Election District it was in, in order to order or look at the right film. In a few weeks I will add Queens 1925 to the suite of NYC boroughs that will have a finder aide for going from an address to an AD/ED for 1925 on the Steve Morse One Step site. One problem with such an index is the massive street name changes that Queens underwent in the 1920s. Because of it, I decided to include both the old and new street names within the EDs I'm transcribing and that's obviously taking time. If you have a modern address (post 1930 or so), you can use a modern map, figure out the cross streets, and use the utility. However, if you have an older address you might not know the cross streets. The street may not even exist on a modern map, and maps such as Hagstrom's 1949 which shows many old AND new names, doesn't show old numbers. So how would you go from an old address to finding out the cross streets? Old city directories that show cross-streets would help. Perhaps old maps that show the old names and the old numbers would also be helpful. As far as I know, there is no online source to help you with this task...except of course starting today on the Morse One Step Site. I've added a utility, taken from a 1928 Red Book, the 1949 Hagstrom Map, a 1925 base map I have with old names, the 1925 FHL AD/ED maps, and the previous renaming tables we have generated....to show you a comparison of old numbers/names to new numbers/names for Queens streets. The Red Book mostly showed Astoria and Long Island City streets, with some Flushing streets as well. So that's what I transcribed. Take a look at: http://www.stevemorse.org/census/changes/QueensRenum.htm If anyone wants to augment this table, please email me. If you find mistakes in it, let me know what specifically is wrong and I'll change the table. Thanks... Joel Weintraub
