I'd like to invite you to consider joining one more list:
City-Directories-L-request(a)rootsweb.com
OR
City-Directories-D-request(a)rootsweb.com
Kelly Courtney-Blizzard's census lists inspired this one, or at
least they
were the first digit in the 2+2=4. The second was when I realized I had
broken down two major brick walls through the use of city
directories rather
than censuses and thought maybe the same idea would translate. I
know there
are a heckuva lot of old city directories in the two libraries I use most.
Of course, for the concept to work at least some of us have to look up
stuff. In fact, to be fair, ALL of us should look up as well as ask for
look-ups. Surely everyone on the list lives near a library that has some
old city directories...
Now, I'm not going to start by asking everyone to list what
directories they
can access. Seems to me such a blizzard of information wouldn't be kept
anyway; rather, let's just toss out what we need and see if there's any
response. In that very vein, though, the FIRST thing to remember
is that no
one is sitting in some cubicle somewhere waiting (and being paid)
to pull up
your information. Instead, you're hoping someone is volunteering
to do so.
If so, THANK THEM. If not, PLEASE don't send in a grumbly
message that you
haven't gotten any response - as I've seen happen on several of the many
lists to which I subscribe. After all, if everyone who CAN'T
help tells you
so, you're going to get buried in nothing useful.
Now, let's have some fun!
