Correct. Tropico Way in LA 90065: source=LACDPW;LACA + 
source_ref=TR0726-039;ABK5464-006
Tropico Ave in Whittier: source=LACDPW;LACA + source_ref=TR0518-006;ABK8228-010

>Seymour not Seymore

This one was interesting. See the notes at the bottom of the tract map for 
the name changes - the previous name was, in fact, Seymore. Name changes 
aren't always noted on these docs, so it's important to look at the dates, 
but it's nice when they are. source=LACDPW;LACA + 
source_ref=TR0016-042b;ABK5453-019

Correct. source=LACDPW;LACA + source_ref=TR0049-071;ABK5446-022


>Parrish not Parish

It depends:

In LA 90065, Parrish Ave: source=LACDPW;LACA + 
source_ref=PWFB1521-257;TR0101-001;ABK5462-008
In Burbank, Parish Pl: source=LACDPW;LACA + 
source_ref=PWFB1718-924;TR0128-041;ABK2444-009


>Shilburn not Shelburn

In LA 90065, Shelburn Ct is correct. source=LACDPW;LACA + 
source_ref=PWFB1422-333;TR0022-115b;ABK5451-008
Shelburne is used in two other places.

I do have an unprocessed photo survey of the area I did in January and 
August 2010. Maybe if we ever get past the license change fixes...

In small areas, I've generated a unique list of names from an OSM file and 
then from TIGER or some county source and done a diff to identify the 
obvious ones. Of course, you have to re-abbreviate the OSM street types, 
and do various other manual things, but it's better than a visual compare.
