The 1920 Census lists the residence of my grandparents as "State Road" in West Pikeland Twp., Chester Co., PA. The 1930 Census lists their residence as "Township Road" in West Pikeland Twp., Chester Co., PA. Are these roads the same road, just different names in 1920 & 1930? What are the names of these roads today? Sharon snkgenealogy@hotmail.com

All state roads and, it appears, township roads, now have special numbers/designations that allow us to tell one from another. Just the titles 'state road' and 'township road' don't give enough information to find the ones you seek, let alone tell if they are the same. I know there are township road maps available, free......saw them when I did a google....... but don't see how they could be of any help. What you need is someone who lived there in the 20-30s and remembers, but don't imagine that's likely, unfortunately.

The old Gazeeters put out in the 1870's and 80's are useful and if you use an overlay with the roads drawn on you can still see the bones of the old roads on them. I found somewhere, maybe the Historical Society, early road maps that made some sense to me <G> but only some and only because land owners I knew were there that early.
