I found a entry in the unclaimed funds for a great uncle who has passed away. An insurance policy. He and the family lived in Amherst at the time (1920, 22, 23 something. We got the necessary death certs but one other necessary piece of proof is proof or residency at this place at this time. Any wisdom out there as to how to document this. An old utility bill would be heaven but..... Where there telephone books back then, I know there might have been city directories and then there is the census but it that considered valid and acceptable proof. I have not looked yet (time constraints - aint got none - time that is) I know you guys will know a direction to point us in. Marilyn

Marilyn, Have you considered land and/or tax records? Those land records should be available and so should the tax records. Good luck!
