DIRECTORIES
The directory of yesteryear was to our ancestors what a phonebook is to us today.
It is a vital resource when starting your families search. 

The directory was a way to communicate with others. 
Your Name.
Your occupation.
Your home address
Your business address.

In the case of a widow, she would be listed as 'widow of John' Following the 
directories by years will sometimes give you the help you need when trying
to ascertain a death, because of the use of 'widow.'
 
These earlier directories also included what was available to the communittee.
Business
Houses of Worship
Wards and Boundaries
Military
Schools
Cemeteries etc.
