Is it possible that your relative appears in a city directory for a town in which he does not live? The 1950s era city directory for Rock Island, Illinois, includes a number of references for individuals who worked in the city but did not live there. Not all directories include references such as these, but don’t assume your relative would not be listed in a directory for a town where she never lived.

  1. I’ve seen entries in our Daytona Beach City Directory that list a person’s summer residence up north. These are old directories before the term “snowbird” was used.
