Therefore, if his daughter or other relative, is still residing in the same home in 1940, it should be the same address for 1935. Thus census records, with little effort, do offer a point of investigative evaluation, on a nationwide basis. In fact, developing a program to index the 1940 census and other similar type records, from a standpoint of address locality, might be very fruitful.<br />http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/pdf/Archive/Soc/soc.genealogy.britain/2005-11/msg01019.pdf<br />Many brick wall problems might be resolved, as well as help those working on finding related families from a common ancestor; also, those compiling histories, etc., would find this kind of index key to be most productive, as suggested by the complex process used for the City of Chicago.<br />http://webapps.cityofchicago.org/landmarksweb/static/pdf/Your_House_Has_A_History.pdfThomas Milton Tinney, Sr.http://www.academic-genealogy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-46185087513287568412013-12-10T09:13:38.707-07:002013-12-10T09:13:38.707-07:00Very good points.

A mailing address of RFD 2, Box 30 is not easy to pinpoint, and even during the recent period of time in which death *certificates* have been made with spaces demanding addresses, seeing something like "RD3" is pretty common.<br /><br />Yes, ownership histories can be established via tax parcels in many areas, but these would take a lot of research and very good maps to correlate with death records where only a Magisterial District or Township was given as a place of death.<br /><br />So this approach can work in many cities and towns, but not necessarily elsewhere without a lot of work. In cities with large apartment buildings, establishing an exact death location could also be difficult.<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-36216807624888250872013-12-10T08:03:39.852-07:002013-12-10T08:03:39.852-07:00I understand there was no hospital in Gilbert, AZ ...I understand there was no hospital in Gilbert, AZ in 1935 .... another clue?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
