I have a local directory that will help! - Jennifer Braswell - ------------------------------------------------- EMAZING - http://www.emazing.com Proudly Presents The Genealogy Tip of the Day Tuesday June 27, 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------- Telephone Directories Common telephone directories can be useful tools in your genealogical research. Current directories for towns and cities where your ancestors or their relatives lived can help you make contact with "lost" lines. Older telephone directories, both the white and yellow pages, can be used to locate family members between censuses. White pages can provide family members' street addresses, which in turn can be used to locate records or help you fine-tune your census research. Yellow pages listings can point you to family business or help you locate mortuaries where funeral and burial records may be retained. These directories can often be found in collections of the local public library or their branches, in county offices, in state archives, in genealogical or historical societies' collections, or in the local telephone company's office archives. - George G.
