I'm not very familiar with the US Census records having only just started to look at them. Can someone please tell me if it's possible to find the records for Richmond Valley on Staten Island in say 1930 and then wander up and down the streets? (I've done this before with UK records, where it's possible to search by address, or when it's been hard to find someone for whom the entry has been mis-transcribed or missed out altogether.

Cheers
Mumfy

I don't know if there's really strict border for that neighborhood as there would be for a town or city.  This gives some description of it - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_Valley,_Staten_Island

There are some results here for the 1930 census for Richmond County for people born in Norway and named something similar to Matson:  http://www.rootschat.com/links/0r8d/

Thanks for the link. I just tried to find Richmond Valley on a google map and now have a vague idea where it is in relation to other places nearby, eg Pleasant Plains. This might help! Am on a learning curve in how to work with the US Census records which is something new to me.
