It's great to have a way to look at current places when we can't spend the time and money to actually be there. <br /><br />What a fantastic find to learn that this house in your family is still there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-81832848495343923322009-08-02T15:18:08.976-07:002009-08-02T15:18:08.976-07:00Randy, how do I email you?

When I take my dog out for a walk today, we'll go by there and take some photos for you!<br /><br />Kathryn Doyle is publishing this in the CGSL eNews and while I'm proof reading it, it caught my eye.

Also with Google Maps, street view, I also tried to find some farm land where a living relative lives and got a feel for rural Indiana where the streets are a compilation of numbers and directional indicators. I did find my grandmother's house in Racine, WI. <br /><br />Finding things on Google Maps in Chicago is a big problem in that they changed all the streets and numbering (I think it was in the 1920s or so) so they would not match the current street and numbering system in that you would need the right year of the Chicago city directory for the street and numbering conversions. I will look at this more in detail and get back to you on it if you are interested.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04384727893792357698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-51366162555320658192009-07-31T14:47:57.317-07:002009-07-31T14:47:57.317-07:00Randy,

Last night when I read your post I was thinking we might want to do some city directory look ups to start but obviously I was thinking "old school." Great find! I'm going to link to your posts in the CGSL eNews for August.Kathryn Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508373744866161837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-60796531074811015712009-07-31T14:02:21.506-07:002009-07-31T14:02:21.506-07:00Randy

Another source for areas where street view is not available I have been using www.zillow.com which will let you look at an address from low flying aerial photography and you can go all the way around the house to see it from 4 different directions.<br /><br />Dick Hillenbrand<br />www.unyg.comunyghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593029219996471902noreply@blogger.com
