I got this notice from the St. Louis Genealogy Society in March and put it aside.  I cleaned out my "To Be Worked On" bin and found it.   So I thought I better post it or it may be back in the "To Be Worked On" bin and wont surface to Christmas.  Denise Eastern  European Directories-- Online and Searchable An interesting website that is ever expanding is called Database of Historical Directories. Currently, it includes links and translation assistance for twenty city directories, most from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Poland, Germany, and other Eastern European locations.  The simple screen at < www.dbhd.org/search.php >  allows searching using Regular (exact) spelling, sensitive (matching capitaliza­tion, accent marks, etc.)  Daitch-Mokotoff Soundex, or "OCR-Adjusted".  This last search option checks for characters in words that have a similar printed shape as the search term and, therefore, are the most likely to be mistaken for one another by the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) process.  The search results produced are the page numbers on which the names appear.  The directories are online at five locations, and links are provided to them.   Searchable directories at the site currently inc1ude: * 1926/1927, 1928, 1929, and 1930 Poland and Danzig Business Directories * 1923 Poland and Danzig Commercial Directory * 1921/1922 Poland Joint Stock Company Directory * 1937 Poland Business, School and Organizational Directory (Selected Cities) * 1914/1915 Galicia and Bukovina War Refugees Address Directory * 1912 Galicia Telephone Directory   * 1901 Galicia Industry Directory * 1925 Western Poland Business Directory (Great Poland, Pomerania, Silesia, Danzig) * 1939/1940 Silesia Business Directory * 1927 Lower Silesia industry, Trade and Craft Directory * 1914 Upper Silesia Industry Directory * 1925 Romania Business and Organizational Directory, Vol.1 (Bucharest) * 1924/1925 Romania Business and Organizational Directory, Vol. 2 (Rest of Romania) * 1938/1939 Warsaw Telephone Directory   * 1946 Poznan Business Directory * 1936/1937 Poznan Business Directory * 1885 Posen (City) Address and Business Directory
