A while ago, I did extensive research into lost street names. A real challenge, but I managed to identify what the streets were now called or if the street had been demolished, where it was located. The info was compiled from a wide range of orginal sources. I made my reseach available to people who were interested. Recently, I came across a new book on the subject, which I thought would be of use to me to expand my lost street database. However, on checking a couple of entries, it became clear the author had used my research, because some of the errors I originally made were in the book. I'd subsequently corrected these errors. The author had never asked me about the research and there was no acknowledgement in the book. Grrrr.
