[or-roots] 1940 address

The Polk City Directories have nothing to do with Polk County, Oregon!  That 
is the name of the company that has done city directories throughout the  
United States for years and years. Many of these directories are searchable  
online now.
 
The request for the lookup said the family lived on Fisher Road in  Salem. 
That is definitely in Marion County, not the Polk County part of  Salem (West 
Salem).
 
I know that the Salem Public Library has many, many old Salem city  
directories on their shelves. You might just try sending a request to their  reference 
librarian and ask her to look it up for you. They do that all the  time. Go to 
the Salem Public Library web site (you can find it on Google)  and click on 
reference question - there is a form there to fill out and  submit by
e-mail.                                  Mimi Stang
