I have the revised edition, from 2001, of the Philadelphia Street Name Changes, published by The Chestnut Hill Almanac, Genealogical Series - Publication #2. In this book it shows that there were seven Wood Streets. Unfortunately, only three gave references to the Ward in which they were located. One was Ward 25 - Frankford District, name change in 1897 to Frogmoor St.; located: East from Powder Mill Lane. The next two are in Ward 21, one is in the Roxborough District, name changed in 1897 to Silverwood St.; located Shawmont to Port Royal Aves. The other Wood St. in Ward 21, is in the Manayunk District. was also changed in 1897 to Silverwood St.; located Cotton St. to Domino La. Located in the Kensington District is Susquehanna St., in same location as Wood St.; no date of change. Finally, also in Kensington District but no Ward info is Otis St.changed from Wood Street in 1858; located Queen to West Sts.,north of Gunner's Run. Now that I've given you all the ones to eliminate, here are the rest of the Wood Sts. #1. changed to 17th St.in 1976; located within the relocated 17th St., no District or Ward provided. #2. changed to Franklin Town Blvd. in 1972; located Franklin Town Blvd, no District or Ward provided. I did look through the book for Ward 10 and I found that the changes of names occurred around 1897 and the area covered was spots like Cherry to Vine Sts. w. of 21st St.; E. from 23rd St., n. of Race; N. of Race St., w of Broad St.; Winter to Vine Sts, w. of 17th St.; also w. of 10th St.; W. from 8th St.; n. of Arch St.; E. from 12th St. , n. to Arch St.; 12th St. to Juniper St., n. of Arch St.;Cherry to Race Sts., w. of 20th St.; In 1869, Ward 10 showed Cowslip St. changed to Spring St. which was located 15  to 16th Sts.,n. of Race St. I think this all has to do with the construction of City Hall, Benjamin Franklin Parkway, the Chinese Wall for the train depot, or maybe building the Broad Street Subway system. The remaking of center city. Hope this wasn't more than you wanted to know.

Jeanne, Registrations of deaths began in Philadelphia in 1860, so there are no death registrations for 1830-40. However, there are cemetery returns (of burials) from 1803 on FamilySearch.org (click on United States, then search for Philadelphia (by the time you type in "Phila" you should have the list of Philadelphia databases on FS). FS incorrectly calls these death certificates ("Pennsylvania, Philadelphia City Death Certificates, 1803-1915"). They are searchable, and there is an image attached -- but you have to register first, if you have not already done so on their site. HTH Claire K.

needs Adobe Reader to see them. Some first pages are quite blank if you have setting set to 125 percent default. You need to change view size downward to 100 or less percent to see the lists. I found 5 I was looking for after gruelling 5 hours last night, checking each year.

This same law that had been amended to release indexes, needs to be amended to allow for online posting of death certificates like Missouri, Arizona, Utah and Texas do now.

According to the 1900 census there was a John (NMI) Doerr, produce dealer, born August 1848, immigrated 1870 as follows: Doerr, John b. Aug 1848, married 25 yrs, parents and self born Germany, imm 1870, 30 yrs in US, produce dealer Doerr, Mary B, wife, b. Jan 1855, 10 children 7 living, parents and self born Germany, imm 1873 27yrs in US children: Harry William Frederick George Mary Residence was 2425 West Huntingdon Street. Also, it appears that the John H Doerr who was in the 72nd PA died before this June mishap so it was a different man. Amy -----Original Message----- From: Larry B.

That sounds possible, Larry. And I just checked Arias and the civil war on the PA site, and there were several DOERRs that could well have been brothers to John George, or at least cousins. So maybe there is more work to be done that will tighten things up.

Indeed, it could be a brother to John George, since it was not uncommon for more than one male to have the token first name of John, followed by the name that was to be actually used, even as it was the same for females and Mary.

Vince, I just sent you the article. I did notice while looking it up, that there was also a John H. Doerr who was a member of the 72nd PA during the Civil War so this may not be a misprint of the name. Amy -----Original Message----- From: Vincent E.
