Yahoo maps, as suggested, or any of the sites that give driving directions to any U.S. address, or google "driving directions, United States" - you can usually zoom in and out on all of them to see a detailed map with every street or a smaller scale map with less detail and only major streets to locate the general area of the address. There are websites where one can see a picture of an address, too (google earth?). Be aware that many cities have re-numbered addresses on their streets since then so it might not be the same spot now, though the same number, and there has been much demolition and rebuilding over the years, so it may not be a residential address now. Sadly, we seem to readily tear down buildings and put up new ones, instead of renovating and/or preserving as Europeans do, so it may not now look anything like it did then. In the US censuses of 1900-1940, the street address number is usually given in a column (headed: house number) to the left of the name of the first head-of- household who is enumerated at that address, and the name of the street is in the extreme narrow left margin, written sideways (tip your head to the left and read street name from bottom to top).

I am looking for an ancestor, Christina Davis, who arrived in NY on 2 September 1905. She gave her sister's (Mary Davis) address as 255 West 10th Street, NY. Having googled the address, I can see it's in the district of Manhattan but I cannot work out where or how to search. I don't think its possible via "familysearch" and certainly not via "findmypast" (even with their "world" subscription). I've not yet tried Ancestry as I don't have a subscription - can't afford to subscribe to everything (so I tend to use it at the central library). Any suggestions gratefully received. Kind thanks for your time. Theresa
