Your patron may try contacting a title company.  They keep tract of  all of 
the real estate sales in their area.  They may provide the  information 
free as a customer service.  If there is a fee, it should be  small.

Hello all,

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,

Megan  Lewis
