> Hopefully someone can help me with this question.  I work at the
> Holocaust Museum in Washington.  I received an email from someone in
> Israel today, and his question is related to our mission, it is beyond
> my scope of knowledge.
>
> In a nutshell:  The requester's father is the only survivor from a
> large family.  After being liberated from Mauthausen, he went back to
> Romania and dug up the photographs his father had buried shortly
> before deportation. On the back of one of the photos is a street
> address in Orange, NJ, but no names.  The requester went to the
> address two years ago, but the current residents don't know who the
> previous residents were.
>
> My patron assumes the people in the photograph are his relatives, and
> he would like to find them before his father passes away.
>
> Other than the 1930 census, does anyone know of any resources,
> preferably accessibly from Israel, that could help my patron?  The
> land deeds might have some clues, but only if the house wasn't a
> rental, and would require him to hire someone in New Jersey or travel
> there himself.

> Many thanks in advance,
