Hi Rick, Try the city directories. I'm in the process of doing this trying to find my O'Leary & Sullivan ancestors who lived in Sharon late 1870's & 1880's. They have a few old city directories going back to 1870 I think, but not a consistant record through the following years as there are a few years missing in between. I think they have some after 1900 and on up. They sent me the years that they have in storage but can't remember which ones. You can only see them on Tuesdays with the help of one of the volunteers, or someone will research them for you for a fee, which I'll probably end up doing unless I get back that way this fall. The older directories are fragile so you can't view them without assistance from one of the members of the society. Good luck. Don

Hi Don, Where can you look at the city directories?
