I tried this question in the NY group, but no takers so trying again here in the open forum.<br/><br/>This may be a rookie question, but.. While tracking down
some folks in the 1915 - 1917 NYC Directories I noticed a convention I<br />
need some clarification on.<br/><br/>Two examples from the directory:<br/><br/>Tierney<br/>
Anna <span style="font-weight: bold;">h</span>408 E137th<br/> Francis J <span style="font-weight: bold;">r</span>226 E 27th<br/><br/>What do the "h" and
"r" signify before the address? Is "h" head of household or a home owner<br />
and "r" a renter? Something else?<br/><br/>Not sure knowing is even
important to the search, but every little bit of understanding helps.<br/><br/>Thanks!<br/><br/>.JT.<br/>
