Talk:City Directories

I was looking for one or more simple articles discussing the general use of city directories. I am working on a specific blog entry regarding Newton MA city directories which have recently become available online. I want to include links to more general articles which explain the many genealogical uses of city directories beyond just skimming for names. I am disappointed that the only general link I find here is to a fee based website. I have found one useful website City Directories: Who Lived Where and When by Genwriters. I was looking for more. I hope I am using the wiki correctly. There is so much information at familysearch's revised site that learning to use everything can be a little overwhelming. VeaGenLib 26 July 2011
