Ron Arons #213386 I would recommend several approaches: -look for detailed historic maps of that area in the David Rumsey collection at www.davidrumsey.com. -look for detailed historic maps of the area in the map section of the NYPL website: http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgdivisionbrowseresult.cfm?div_id=hm -go in person to the Map Division of the NYPL on 42nd St. to look at Sanborn Maps. Better yet, find a library closer to you which subscribes to ProQuest's Sanborn Maps Geo Edition.

Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:27:23 -0400 (EDT) X-Message-Number: 3 I was looking at a ship record in the year 1902 that had information about my wife's grandfather. What caught my eye was that the list of names on this page were almost all bracketed together as going to 410 E 5th street in New York. Would anyone know what was at this address and how it affected the new arrivals. Errol Schneegurt NY
