Brighton area street name change?

Legg inn av Michael Horowitz » 03 mar 2007 19:51:35

I'm trying to find the occupants of 3034 Brighton 3rd St, Brooklyn, NY
for 1930. So, I calculated the ED in 1930 ( 1295 or 1901) and began
looking in the census for that address.

If you look at a current map of the Brighton (Brooklyn) area, you will
see a Brighton 1st, 2nd, 3rd,..8th as well as Brighton Beach
Ave. But during my search of the census I'm not seeing Brighton
mentioned except Brighton Beach Ave.

Then I see this note at Brightonbeach.com:"[in the '30s and 40s]
street names were changed for the benefit of the immigrants to
numbered Brighton 'places'." So, maybe the '30 census had another
name for these streets.

Does anyone happen to know how the '30 census would have refered to
Brighton 3rd Street? -Mike

Using the Morse web site I previously gave you it lists the street as
Brighton 3rd St. This street can be found in the following EDs 1294, 1295,
1296, 1297 and 1901.

MikeS - Thanks for the reply. Someone who works with the db tried my
query, got similar results and concluded the Enumerator was using the
old names for the same streets.

Oh, if you GOOGLE the area in question, you note the target is bounded
to the North by Oceanview and to the south by Brighton Beach. You can
enter those values as 'cross streets' in that utility and narrow the
rolls to 1901 and 1295.

Thanks for taking the time - MikeH.
