City directories are a great source, but determine if there have been any renumbering or changes in names between the time of the city directory and the present. That will make it easier to find the home’s residence in certain census records if the names of the residents cannot be located. And it’s always fun to see the actual location in modern times.

My grandmothers home changed house numbers but I can’t seem to find out what agency/dept to look for the information on when that occurred. Any suggestions? They lived in Allegheny County PA. TIA
I would ask at the local library, courthouse, or local genealogical society for suggestions.
Thank you
You can check with the US Post Office. They are involved in all changes to addresses due to their business.
Will do thanks
My house number changed when we rebuilt after a fire.
