These directories can help to determine the location of ancestors year after year if the directories are available in ancestral location. Different companies provided listings of individuals in cities throughout the United States. There are directories for other countries, one just needs to check various library catalogs to locate them.
Ancestry.com and Fold3.com have city directories online along with other. Online Historical Directories provided some online also. Just put " (city) + online city directories into a search engine to locate any online. This is just another resource that should not be overlooked!

The Library of Congress has a great collection of City Directories. If you go to the LOC website, you can see a list of the cities and the years they have. Granted they do not do personal research, but there are people in the area that will go look up the information.
ReplyDeleteThe listing was updated by me in 2008.
