Mary, that's a really good idea. Can someone there verify whether or not it's copyrighted material? If it is proven certain that it isn't copyrighted (and assuming it isn't so huge that I don't have room!) I'd be delighted to put it on my website for all to access. If it IS huge perhaps a zip file would condense it enough to make it possible. Can anyone estimate how many pages it might be? Is there any ummmm...."formula" to the changes? For example, "All numbered streets on the north side of XXX Avenue were changed by adding "100 as a prefix to the original number"...or "numbered streets north of XXX Avenue added the designation "North" to the address and all numbered streets South of XXX Avenue added the designation "South"........ that kind of thing. John, thank you for both the info and the offer of help. I probably won't have time to go through all of my Milwaukee people and figure out which streets I really need to check out until after my work on the Girl Scout cookie sale in March is over, but it will be at the top of my agenda. If I can't find another to get the info I needway I may ask you to check out one or two houses. If my parents were still around I'd have a few words for them about dragging me all the way to Florida when I was a child...lol Thanks for the responses..........dianne P.S. to John, your "SISU" always brings a smile to my face...and "SISU" to you. >Dianne, >I have never found an online source for the street changes.

I have a cross reference of the street name changes on my website. I have for a couple years now thanks to Mary P. http://linkstothepast.com/milwaukee/mkestreets1.html I also have a book which I think is called the meaning behind the street names which goes through each street in MIlwaukee and explains who or what it was named after. Any books, newspapers, pamphlets etc. published roughly after the 20s (72 years I think it is) is within copyright.
