Photographer wanted. I have addresses for several deceased relatives and would really appreciate it, if anyone is willing to take photos of the houses, if they still exist. I know some of them do, including the house where my mother grew up. I am in Canada so I am unable to do this myself.
If interested please reply by private message
thanks Monica

Hi Monica

You could try Google Maps

Add the address details into Google and see if they appear as a photo

I have taken photos off of google maps of the houses I have lived in using the snipping tool

A couple of the houses were in cul-de-sacs so unfortunately the camera van did not go down there

Researching:
Nothing much

I have tried Google maps, the angles on Google street view are all wrong for the 2 houses I have been able to locate, and I can't be sure its the correct address, and I think most of the others are cul de sacs, courts etc. I believe there are old maps of NUL, that show the town in the late 1800s and early 1900s, but have not been able to find any that are useful.
I was hoping someone local would be interested.
