When: Thursday, May 23, 2019 - 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Where: Austintown Library at AU Meeting Room (Large)

City directories are often overlooked, but these texts prove quite useful to family historians.  Ancestors are listed regardless of whether they owned a telephone.  Wives, widows and other family members are listed.  Streets and maps are shown, along with the names of neighbors.  Churches, cemeteries, business, advertisements and historical information are presented over the span of many years.  It is an ideal resource for investigating intervals between US Census years. For adults and teens.  Registration is required by telephone 330-744-8636 or online via the Events Calendar.
