Hi, Judy, How true!! It is far better to dig where one might find something about one's own family. In the present work (1860 directory), I found my great grandfather (spelled Daorr, not Doerr, a lesson about indexes). I also learned more about another relative. And I'm only in the G names. 14000 entries down, 40000 to go. I think I should instead have done the 1855 city directory; it is about half as long as the 1860 and does better to fill in between censuses. I may be able to digitize the 1855; would you be interested in that one? I MAY be able to digitize the images of that one.
