You were so right. It wasn't there for the person I was originally looking for, but I went back and found the death date for two others. Thank you so much! On Thursday, April 10, 2014 3:36:19 PM UTC-7, rcapodc wrote: Lilliana, One thing you may find in the City Directories of Mass. is

Thanks, Shirl. It was a good thought. It would have worked...if the first few pages of mine weren't missing. I'll look at other years from the same city, and see if there's a standard month given. On Thursday, April 10, 2014 6:01:58 PM UTC-7, Shirl Sereque wrote: If the City Directory is from

This is such a helpful and knowledgeable group. Thank you. I actually went back and found my GG uncle's and his wife's death dates thanks to this tip. (Still tracing the elusive GGF, though.) On Thursday, April 10, 2014 9:04:31 PM UTC-7, Richard Francis Pimentel wrote: *I know some of the

Does anyone know at which time of year the information for city directories (1880s to 1920s) was most likely to have been taken? Before the year started--so *by* January, 1900 for a 1900 city directory, for example. Or by the end of the year? Or does it just depend? I have found one ancestor

I do not. You might try looking at the beginning of the directory. Sometimes they state when it was actually done, but many times just a year is stated. It you are looking online, like Ancestry.com just go to the beginning of the images which should be the beginning of the book. On Thu, Apr 10,

If the City Directory is from the USA, there should be a date at the top of the actual page.  (The image, that is.)   At least the Boston directories are that way and they are taken after the first of the year.   One was May, another June, etc. - Shirl - On Thursday, April 10, 2014 5:10 PM,
