Immigrants to an area may not appear in the directory immediately after their arrival. Particularly in urban areas, the living arrangements of immigrants may be more tenuous, recent immigrants may be overlooked by the individual collecting information, or the immigrant may not see any reason to be listed in the directory.
Don’t assume your ancestor is not somewhere simply because he is not in the directory.

Will remember that tip, to look all over 4 information even if it’s not found currently.
