Hi everyone, I have this address from a Milwaukee cemetery, the person is maybe my gggfather. If I read it right it’s “3511, 37th street”(No. means North? Or number?) I wanted to verify this by finding this address in a 1930 census (he died in 1934). I’m not from US and I’m really struggling to understand the US street system and how the collection of that census was performed.
I found this website to help me narrow the results
https://stevemorse.org/census/unified.html?year=1930
so I put there the address and as suggested, I took a look on the Google Map to see which street crosses it. The closest is Keefe Ave so I set it as such. It gave me 2 results.

I went through both of them and nothing. Actually the house numbers on 37th street weren’t even close to 3511 in those reports, they were around 1000 - 1500.
What am I doing wrong? How the street numbering works in the US? Also just out of curiosity - why weren’t addresses indexed in Family Search?
Ah, sorry I forgot to respond. I checked it again and the address is actually a residence address, 2nd from the top on the right side link
I actually know the plot also link but I wanted to check that address in the census to confirm whether it’s my gggfather or not
