I am looking at a ship's manifest from 1913 where the passenger indicated
that his "going to join" person lived on Hartford Street in Brooklyn. I can
find no street past or present that matches or is close, and I cannot find
the join person or the passenger in the 1915 New York State census or the
1910 or 1920 Federal Census. Any thought on how I might be misreading the
street name? It definitely says "Brooklyn, NY".

All,

One helpful respondent correctly identified the street name as Thatford, not
Hartford, in Brownsville. The "going to join" guy is there in the NYS 1915
Census, though the surname is spelled slightly differently and the given
name Americanized. Thanks! And thanks to Steve Morse for providing the tools
to find the AD/ED based on the address.
