I have just posted "City Directories as a Research Tool" on my website. City directories are much more useful than most people think, especially when church and municipal records cannot be found. They sometimes give date of marriage and who a woman married. They sometimes give date of death, and they may even tell the city to which a person moved. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clifflamere/AID-City-Dir.htm Cliff
