To Jeanine French & others interested: Maybe John can take a breath, at least for a minute or two. I found Jeanine's Dennis C. JONES, KC, MO city directory listings 1889-91 as follows: Dennis C. JONES, employer Wood Bros., occupation weighmaster Dennis C. JONES, foreman, b.(boards at)3121 Lexington (no specific year given, so maybe he was there for all 3 yrs. covered) This was on Ancestry.com's data base. With John's permission (?), I am offering to help do directory lookups, as I subscribe to Ancestry. I can't promise anywhere near the speed with which John gives us info & feedback - am working from a laptop, temporarily, and also can't tie up my only telephone line too long at one time. Also, thanks to John & Anita for great explanations for appearance (or not)of obits in KC papers. You answered my question! Eleanor McCain eleanormccain@attbi.com
Eleanor, yes, that would be great! I have to do it the old fashioned way...... microfilm! I didn't know that the KC Directory was "on-line" anywhere. Does Ancestry.com have all the KC Directories? Thanks a lot.
