There are now so many utilities on Steve Morse's One-Step website, that it's hard to notice when he adds something new. But I just discovered a few that I hadn't seen before, and which look very interesting. First is a pair of utilities that converts between handwritten Hebrew and textbook Hebrew. Anybody who's seen handwritten Hebrew realizes that it's a completely different set of characters bearing very little resemblance to the same characters when they appear in print. One of Steve's new utilities lets you type in words using the handwritten characters and it displays the equivalent printed characters. And another lets you go the other way -- type in words using printed characters and it displays the words in handwritten characters. Another new One-Step feature is a tool that converts any enumeration district (ED) in the 1930 census into the equivalent ED in the 1940 census. Of course the 1940 census won't be available for another seven years, but I guess Steve wants us to be ready for it when it arrives. There initially won't be any name index for the 1940 census, so searching by address using the ED will be the only way to go. You would use Steve's existing 1930 ED Finder to obtain the 1930 ED for the address that you want, and the use this new tool to convert that 1930 ED to the equivalent 1940 ED. So far his tables cover only the first few states, but I'm sure that he'll have all the states completed way before 2012. All of these utilities and more can be found at http://stevemorse.org which is the One-Step website. If you have any questions about these utilities, please direct them to Steve and not to me. You will find his e-mail address on the website. - Diane Jacobs New York
