City directories sometimes
are referred to as census substitutes, yet they are much more. They are a
source to an inside view of your ancestor’s life. You can track cities that
your ancestors lived in over the years, develop a history of the town, and view
social meetings that your ancestor may have attended. The pictures in city directories can provide
a rich window into what your ancestors may have seen as well.
Pamela Brigham is the
President of the Silicon Valley Computer Genealogy Group and a devotee of using
technology in genealogy. She teaches
classes in genealogy including using online research programs.
