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. What DIRECTORIES are available for Brooklyn What Directories are available on the Bklyn Info Page RETURN TO NEWBIE PAGE Back To Brooklyn
