The year was 1900 that they lived there according to the Cencus reports.

Thank you

Dave

Thanks for going thru the trouble of posting these photos. I've been on Google maps Street View, but I can't determine if I'm really looking at 7 Griffith. I thought I had the right Google image for a relatives house in Secaucus, but when I made an in-person visit, it was the house next door that was the correct one.

You might want to contact someone at city hall to see if they make tax photos available to the public, they may have photos of the property taken decades ago.

...and as for 8 Griffith in the Heights there is google maps street view -- you can also google it and see the area around 1 paterson plank road too. BTW your family lived right across from Riverview Park - overlooking the Hudson River. Resized Image

I am writing my family's history from when they immigrated to the US from Germany and settled in Jersey City.

They lived at 7 Griffith Street and 1 Paterson Plank Road.

If you live on either one of these streets can you please tell me if these two homes still standing? I would love a digital picture also if you have one.

Thank you very much,

-David
