The second URL, very interesting indeed, so they do have this US Directory!! Meaning at the library. Now I'm wondering why I couldn't find it. Now for sure I'll have to go back & see if I can find it. I did click on the URL above also & tried different names, nothing was available. Very disappointing! I was not aware the library edition & either did the librarian know it is different, than the original Ancestry site. But glad to find out that it is & it wasn't me doing something wrong. Thank you for your help. Diane
