Many different types of directories have been published that may help the researcher today solve their family history brickwalls. One of those is the City Directory. They can place a person in a particular place at a particular time and can group people by place of residency and/or by association with others. This presentation examines the city directories available to the researcher, their history in the U.S., the parts of the directories; benefits of directory research (clues to forward research), and problems/concerns associated with using city directories. So come along and "Let your fingers do the walking" through city directories to find family relationships, occupations, spouses, and other choice tidbits. A case study will be presented illustrating a research strategy.
