[Genealib] for Megan Lewis: Orange NJ City Directories at Lib. of Congress

[Levy, Suzanne S.]

One of our library users who is familiar with New Jersey shared this for
you.

 
 
The city directories will be the best place to look.  The Library of
Congress has Orange, NJ from 1877 to 1934.  That is when a lot of cities
stopped doing city directories.  Don't know if Orange stopped then, but
I do know that the Oranges were split up to East Orange, West Orange,
etc. so it is possible they may have their own directories.  The other
questions would be as the photos only contain a street address do the
directories have a street address section.  Most do, but as I haven't
used the Orange NJ city directories I can't be 100% positive.  
 
Anyway the Library of Congress is the best bet.
