find the street from the 1930 census? Any other way of finding their street - draft card, one of their kids' birth or marriage certificates, etc.? I think ancestry has city directories on line, which are easier to read.

It was not hard finding my grandfather's house, but I knew his address. I had to page through 30 of so sheets to find the one with his street, and had a brief detour when I only found the other side of the street first.

I have looked through an entire city to find a relative. Not sure how many pages there are for Pittsburgh in 1940, maybe a lot.
