If you can find them in a city directory and get a street address, you
can the determine the E.D. to look in from from a Ward map and a
description of the E.D. boundries. It's tedious but it can be done.

Your library should be able to get the reel you need on interlibrary
loan. If not, then they are also available from the LDS library through a
FHC.
Good luck,
