Hello Nora Hopkins- Fitzgerald In your search for a 1930 Manhattan City directory have you tried <A HREF="mailto:city-directories@rootsweb.com"> city-directories@rootsweb.com</A> ? it is a list of volunteer researchers with access to hundreds or possibly thousands of city directories accross the US. Just go to the link above or type it in your browser and request a look up. There is no charge. If a volunteer happens to have that year or one close to it, they will post their findings on their list. Some of the volunteers are kind enough to direct to other sources if they have such knowledge. Give it a try. Good Luck Jim McCarthy </HTML>
