ABBREVIATIONS<\/strong>
Abbreviations used in City Directories can be found at \u2192 GENEALOGY_IN_TIME.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRE-1887 ADDRESSES<\/strong>
<\/span>The street numbers changed after 1886.
You can see the new and old numbers with the following \u2192 THE 1887 BALTIMORE INDEX OF STREET NUMBERS<\/a><\/strong>
<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

STREET NAME CHANGES<\/strong>
1) Try \u2192 BALTIMORE STREET NAME CHANGES<\/strong>
<\/a>2) Use the Book Baltimore Street Name Changes: 1730 to 2000 by Thomas P. Bocek.
3) Use the 1900 George McCreary’s \u2192 STREET INDEX<\/a><\/strong>.
4) Use the 1993 Rebecca Gunby’s \u2192 INDEX OF STREETS<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TROUBLE FINDING AN OLD STREET<\/strong>
1) Starting around 1860, the city directories have a section where every street is listed along with the streets that intersect. Compare familiar names found on a modern map and make your best guess.
2) You can try looking at an old map such as the “1887 Gray’s New Map” at the JHU Library<\/a><\/strong>. Click on the map’s name or download it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
