Hi Bobby, I've spent most of the afternoon tracing down my family in this directory database. When I clicked on "More new databases" on the Ancestry.com home page, a search engine came up- and I was somewhat confused until I tried to type in the name of a city. A list of names (for the various "new" databases according to city) came up. I selected Memphis, which gave me the directories for 1890/1891. It was great fun to use them in a database format. I even found all of the names of the boarders in the place where my grandfather lived (he also was a boarder). You should try again.
