Hi Essex County-I recently found an envelope that a resident (last name BERGSTROM) of 27 North Willow Street, Montclair sent to someone else named BERGSTROM of Sandviken, Sweden in 1925. The two people may be related. Is there a c1925 directory for Montclair where someone could look-up the name of the resident at 27 North Willow? You can see the envelope on www.philgen.org (search on Montclair, select the one with BERGSTROM, click on View, and scroll to the bottom of the page).

Here is a direct link to the photo of the envelope: http://www.philgen.org/index.php?option=com_fabrik&c=for...

The reason I have a photo of the envelope is because of my interest in using postal history (old envelopes and postcards) in genealogical research. I have an article in the spring 2009 issue of New England Ancestors entitled Philatelic Genealogy and have started the philgen website. I do not know if the letter that was in the envelope still exists.

Thanks for your help, Jim Miller
