Lorraine Raczkiewicz & her location in old documents

Lorraine Raczkiewicz (my aunt) grew up at 501 Milwaukee Street in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The first place she lived after marrying John Dykstra, a truck driver, in 1941 would have been the small house in the backyard of her parents’ house. After a few years they lived at 751 First St. NW which would have been right around the corner. Her husband was a livestock buyer at this point and 10 year old younger sister Shirley (my Mother) visited her often. My mother Shirley remembers that Lorraine's friend Virginia lived with her at the beginning of her time on First St. because John was in the service. Virginia and her family lived upstairs in the Raczkiewicz home when Lorraine was a teenager. They moved to 50 Cummings NW in Walker, a short drive outside of Grand Rapids. Lorraine and John lived there the rest of their lives. ***** 1927 City Directory: Grand Rapids, MI 503 Milwaukee Ave NW Anthony (Pauline) Raczkiewicz Lorraine Raczkiewicz, student ***** 1930 Census 501 Milwaukee Ave, owned, value $6500 Anthony: 35, 1895, Age at 1st marriage: 25, Speaks English,language spoken-Polish Tacker at a Tannery Parent’s birthplace: Poland Immigration Year 1913 Naturalization: First Papers Pauline, 26 1904, age at 1st marriage: 17,(Born Pennsylvania, parents in Poland) Lorraine, 8, 1922, attends school Anthony: 4, 1926 Walter Skrobat (father-in-law): 61, 1869, widowed,age at 1st marriage-33, immigration 1900, not naturalized, (parents born in Poland)Speaks English, moulder at a foundry, not currently working, Joseph Raczkiewicz (brother) 37, language spoken-Polish, immigration 1913, not naturalized, veteran of WW ***** 1937 City Directory Raczkiewicz Anthony J (Pauline) tacker h501 Milwaukee av NW -J??m fctywkr r501 Milwaukee av NW -Lorraine P student 4501 Milwaukee av NW -Stanley h501 Milwaukee av NW -Virginia student r501 Milwaukee av NW (According to Shirley Longwell: Virginia lived upstairs, was a friend of Lorraine, when Lorraine moved out to First St., Virginia moved with her since her husband John was in the service) ***** 1939 City Directory: Raczkiewicz Anthony J (Pauline) tacker h501 Milwaukee av NW -Lorraine C student r501 Milwaukee av NW -Stanley h501 Milwaukee av NW ***** 1940 City Directory Raczkiewicz Anthony J (Pauline) tacker h501 Milwaukee av NW -Jos r501 Milwaukee av NW -Lorraine r501 Milwaukee av NW ***** 1940 US Census 501 Milwaukee St. (5 years ago in the same place)Lacquer at a Tannery, wages $1,000 Anthony Raczkiewicz, 44 born Poland, naturalized Pauline, 26, born Pennsylvania Lorraine, 18, born Michigan Anthony, 14, born Michigan Shibley, 4, born Michigan Ronald R. ), born Michigan Joseph Raczkiewicz, brother, 46, born Poland, received wages other than income "United States Census, 1940," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KH3S-PJN : 29 July 2019), Anthony Raczkiewicz, Ward 1, Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids City, Kent, Michigan, United States; citing enumeration district (ED) 86-31, sheet 5A, line 37, family 96, Sixteenth Census of the United States, 1940, NARA digital publication T627.
