You can find the Polk reverse directory on the Chicago HIstorical Society's website. However, be warned, it is a HUGE adobe file, and if you are a dial-up user, I would not even attempt it; it is best viewed from a high speed connection, it is just a huge file.

Ellen, Thank you so much for this site. I probably knew about it before I knew what a PDF/Adobe file was, and therefore dismissed it. So I did find some ancestors in the 1928 Polk Reverse Directory. Very interesting and helpful.
