Genealogy

If you know me on r/genealogy, you've seen this post from me before. It usually succeeds in generating conversation, so I'm hoping we'd all like to talk about it here.

So for me:

1. Morgan Cremin b.1821 m. Ellen Egar b.1826

They married in 1848 in Co. Kerry and promptly boarded a ship for the U.S. in order to escape the famine. They settled in SE Illinois. It appears Ellen's father's name was Jacobus, which I think is James? Cremin, I have learned, is an agnomen for McCarty, and indeed, my uncle has a lot of McCarty matches at FTDNA. In the U.S., the name morphed into Crimmins.

2. George Hazlett b. 1795 m Agnes McKee b. 1799

Family lore says George's family were originally from Scotland, but I haven't confirmed that. His children were born in Co. Monaghan. I found an Agnes McKee born 1799 in Co. Down, which might be my Agnes (she went by Nancy). George and Nancy and their adult children also fled the famine in 1850. George died on the ship, and Nancy and her children settled in Monona, Iowa.

3. George Hazlett Jr. b. 1824 m Jane Whittaker b. 1830

In Monona, Iowa the younger George married Jane Whittaker, who had emigrated from Co. Sligo with her aunt and uncles. Her parents and sister had all died in the famine. Her aunt who cared for her was named Ellen Irwin.

4. Robert Stunkard b. 1759

He settled in Pennsylvania, and may have been born in Co. Down. It's been suggested to me that the name might have originally been Stankard.

5. Samuel Clark b. 1790 m Jane Millar b. 1785

Samuel and Jane were from County Down and they settled in Quebec.

Hi everyone, I have this address from a Milwaukee cemetery, the person is maybe my gggfather. If I read it right it's "3511, 37th street"(No. means North? Or number?) I wanted to verify this by finding this address in a 1930 census (he died in 1934). I'm not from US and I'm really struggling to understand the US street system and how the collection of that census was performed.

I found this website to help me narrow the results

https://stevemorse.org/census/unified.html?year=1930

so I put there the address and as suggested, I took a look on the Google Map to see which street crosses it. The closest is Keefe Ave so I set it as such. It gave me 2 results.

I went through both of them and nothing. Actually the house numbers on 37th street weren't even close to 3511 in those reports, they were around 1000 - 1500.

What am I doing wrong? How the street numbering works in the US? Also just out of curiosity - why weren't addresses indexed in Family Search?

How do you manage your trees? Myself, I use webtrees. The interface may be a bit "old" and the handling of media in particular could have been better, but it's an online solution (so I have my tree available all the time), it's open source, it's 100% standards compliant, and the community is wonderful, so ...
