Re: Silk industry of Paterson,NJ Many of my family were from Paterson. My grandfather, Sidney Smith, (b3/16/1865 d4/15/1922) was active in the business after immigrating from Macclesfield,England) Tis information is from verbal family reports. How would I access the Paterson City Directories from the late 19th and early20th century in hopes of confirming this information? Can anyone help me? Wayne Smith ([email protected])
