Genealogical researchers use city directories to obtain information about individuals in specific places at particular points in time. City directories include names, addresses, and occupations. They may also reveal age, marital status, home ownership, and race. In addition, these resources frequently list civic information regarding churches, cemeteries, schools, local businesses, railways, newspapers, social organizations, town services, and city officials.
