My problem in the city directories has been spelling variations - Burns, Byrnes; Roache, Roche, Roach. They're just as bad as the censuses.

However, they seem to appear nowhere in the Baltimore City Directory from 1899-1910, per the staff at the Enoch Pratt library in Baltimore. Have others experienced such a phenomena? Why would this be? I find it quite disappointing as I can not find any clue on this family after the 1900 census. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly welcomed, Rich Columbus, Ohio --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell? Check outnew cars at Yahoo!
