Hello all. I just wanted to let you know that Ancestry.com has the 1887-92 Newport City Directories in their database now. They are searchable free for the first ten days, but then they will probably become part of their subscription service. This is a great resource for all of us searching in that timeframe especially due to the loss of the 1890 census. http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/5053.htm Good luck to all.
