Can anyone tell me how far back the Richmond City Directories go, and if they're accessible (through microfilm or in book form) at the library? I'm hoping that if they go back as far as 1873, I may be able to find my g-grandfather Peter Bernd. My only hope now is searching city directories to see if he goes from being "m" to being a "w" at some point which should help me determine when and where my g-grandmother Jacobina died. Thank you, Roy in Illinois
