I was interested in maps around the years 1883/4 thru 1895. Anything would be appreciated. I am trying to figure out when a relatived died. It appears he may have had a small farm on the North side of town east of the Fox River on Berlin Street. A 1901 Platt has the wife (Mary Betschkew/Beczkala/Betchka) on 2 acres of land on Berlin Street west of Bates Street. Her husband, Adam Betschew/Beczkala/Betchka died between 1886-1892. If I could see when the land changed names on the platt map from Adam to Mary I could further narrow down the date of death and find something in a newspaper article or alike. At the time this land was between Strongs and Gotts Addition and Franklins Addition. The Dartford Society helped me obtain the 1901 Platt Map. I was hoping to try to locate some of these maps on my own before asking the Society to help me again as I don't want to constantly ask for help and become bothersome. They are very complete and professional there and I true like them a lot and do not want to become a burden to them. IS there anyone out there that knows how I can solve this? I hope so. Thanks Peter Betchkal
