Thanks for any help with this. >Regards, Liam Yes, Liam, there are definitely Troy City Directories for every year between 1837 and 1846, inclusive; the LDS Family History Library has them on microfiche, and I printed out the Van- pages of all these years. These directories are a very good genealogical finding aid; although they seldom give family relationships, you can tell from them which people of a surname, even a very common one, resided at the same address as which other people of that surname. Given the time to study them more closely, you might be able to determine which people of OTHER surnames lived at the same address as well. Good luck! Lin
