And it looks like both my father and grandparents were in the neighboring EDs. Your 1931 street name changes were interesting though. Spokane annexed the city of Hillyard in 1925 and I think all of those NE name changes were to standardize the names of streets from the neighboring town of Hillyard to the street names in Spokane. 1920 and 1910 the census bureau used voting precincts for their EDs and the boundaries are listed in the corresponding city directories.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15311523372083088677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695178888086257475.post-68911261243311597652011-04-02T21:17:15.668-07:002011-04-02T21:17:15.668-07:00Charles,

I know since I transcribed the 28 rolls of film for Steve's search engine. Second, if you have the ED # for 1930, you can find the 1940 ED # with conversion tables on the Morse website. Third, Spokane is one of the cities that we have a full street index to ED # for 1940 right now on the website.<br /><br />Also note that NARA is intending to put online the ED definition scans and ED city and county maps this summer..... and then the digitized population schedules on April 2nd, 2012. So the "heavy lifting" to find EDs for 1940 has been done. Of course I'm always interested in more volunteers so I can reduce the present coverage of all cities over 25,000 to all cities over 15,000 (or even less) on our ED finder before the census becomes public.<br />Joel Weintraub<br />http://members.cox.net/census1940/Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427311250015261520noreply@blogger.com
