Today is Juneteenth, a celebration of the emancipation of the last remaining enslaved African-Americans in the Confederacy, in Texas.<br />
<br />
In honor of that day, I am posting links to specific kinds of directories and resources for those researching their African-American roots in the United States:<br />
<ul>
<li>"<a href="https://lifehacker.com/how-the-negro-traveler-s-green-book-helped-black-people-1818994434" target="_blank">How The Negro Traveler’s Green Book Helped Black People Get Around in the 1950s</a>" </li>
<li>"<a href="https://wgntv.com/news/cover-story/the-story-behind-the-green-book/" target="_blank">The story behind the ‘Green Book</a>’"</li>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkZxoko_HC0" target="_blank">The official trailer of the movie Green Book on YouTube</a> </li>
<li><a href="https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/collections/the-green-book?#/?tab=about" target="_blank">Digitized Green Books at the New York Public Library</a></li>
<li>Go to my <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/onlinedirectorysite/Home" target="_blank">Online Historical Directories site</a> and use the search terms <i>colored</i>,<i> negro</i>, or<i> African</i> in the search field to find directories specific to African-American listings.</li>
</ul>
<br />
If you are researching African-American ancestors in city directories, keep the following in mind:<br />
<ol>
<li>Unless your ancestor was a free person and a head of a household, you are unlikely to find him or her in a city directory, especially before or during the American Civil War (1861-1865).</li>
<li>Search for the words Negro or Colored within a directory. Sometimes an individual was labeled with that term within the directory's general listing. But, sometimes a whole section of a directory dedicated to Black individuals was segregated to the back of the volume.</li>
<li>Look at the Abbreviations section of a directory, usually at the front of the listings. You may see that an (N) or a (C) was used to denote someone of African ancestry. While these labels are racist, they do help to identify and delineate your ancestor with a common name from a Caucasian man with the same name.</li>
<li>Whether or not you find your ancestor, look in the directory section before the lists of individuals for the lists of churches, clubs, cemeteries, schools, and other city features. You may find specific institutions for the African-Americans in that community. These can point you to locate other record groups, such as church records or a cemetery office, which may provide information on your ancestor. They may also point you to other types of directories. Perhaps there is a historical church directory for that African Episcopal Methodist church your ancestors were members of for generations! Or perhaps there is a historical directory for all the Prince Hall Freemasons in your ancestor's state.</li>
<li>You may need to look for a separate directory for your ancestor. Colored directories were sometimes published by the African-American community within a city. Do a Google search for "colored directory" or "negro directory" (with parentheses) and the name of the city and the year range (using ellipses: 1870...1874) you are researching.</li>
<li>Be prepared to find nothing about your ancestor within the lists of individuals, even when you know from other records that he was living in that city at that time. It was not uncommon for minorities and certain ethnic groups to not be included in directories. Besides people with African ancestry, this included people from Asia, the Irish and Italians and others who didn't fit in the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) mold. Nevertheless, don't give up looking for your ancestors in city directories!</li>
</ol>

Just because your ancestors didn't live in cities doesn't mean that they aren't listed in directories. As a matter of fact, there are a large variety of directories available for your rural and small town ancestors. These directories have a variety of names:<br />
<ul>
<li>county directory - published either as a part of a city directory--usually in the back of the volume--or as a separate, stand-alone directory</li>
<li>rural directory - also published as a part of a city directory, or separately</li>
<li>farm directory or farmers directory - sometimes titled "farmers and breeders directory", "farmers and business directory", or "farmers almanac and business directory"</li>
<li>atlas, plat book, or gazetteer - often incorporated with a small town business or rural directory</li>
<li>county history - may include a small town business or rural directory</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the purpose of this post and simplicity, I'm going to refer to all of the above as "rural directories."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just as the names of the directories are varied, so are the facts you may discover about your ancestor, depending upon what information was gathered by the directory companies. Here are some of the details I've noticed in various rural directories:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>whether a land-owning or tenant farmer</li>
<li>how many acres owned or farmed</li>
<li>a description of the property, such as section, township, and range; or lot and concession numbers</li>
<li>rural route number, or name of the nearest post office</li>
<li>the name of and mileage (and sometimes direction) from the nearest community - "5 miles SW of Centerville"</li>
<li>telephone number and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_exchange_names" target="_blank">exchange</a> (for historical timeline reference, Bell invented the telephone in 1876)</li>
<li>name of the farm or ranch</li>
<li>number of cattle, horses, sheep, and other large livestock</li>
<li>listing of breeders and the specific types of livestock and poultry breeds they raised</li>
<li>major crops planted by the farmer</li>
<li>wife's maiden name</li>
<li>children's names</li>
<li>year the individual became a resident in that county</li>
<li>military service, or lists of veterans</li>
<li>photographs of prominent citizens, homes, businesses, small town streets</li>
<li>automobile owners</li>
<li>tractor owners</li>
<li>county road and local highway maps</li>
<li>township maps</li>
<li>rural delivery route maps</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>The Farm Journal Illustrated Rural Directory of Genesee County Michigan 1919 - 1924</i>, <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Above you can see three listings for York families in the Genesee County, Michigan rural directory of 1919. The middle listing is my great-great-grandfather, James L. York with his (second) wife Mary, and his "child" Howard M. (my great-grandfather, who was 21 at the time). James was a farmer who owned 40 acres, 2 horses, and 5 cattle. His mailing address was Route 1, Goodrich (a village), and he lived on Atlas Township road 65.<br />
<br />
Above James's entry is one for his oldest son Ernest and his family. He was not a farmer, but a mason. Below James's entry is one for his older brother Jeremiah Franklin York, Jr., who was a retired farmer. James's entry is in ALL CAPS, which means he subscribed to <i>The Farm Journal</i>. Consulting the abbreviation key at the beginning of this directory was very helpful, just as it is for city directories.<br />
<br />
<div>
As noted with my great-grand-uncle Ernest, one did not have to be farmer to be listed in a rural directory. There were many people with various occupations in rural areas: skilled laborers such as masons, blacksmiths, millers, and mechanics; ferrymen; shopkeepers; business owners; town clerks and sheriffs; clergymen, doctors, attorneys, and other professionals. So don't let the knowledge that your small-town ancestor was <b>not</b> a farmer prevent you from searching farm and rural directories!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just as with city directories, rural directories should lead you to review and compare other related records. Gazetteers, plat maps, physical maps, land records, church records, local newspapers, and county histories and biographies are just some of the many records that can enhance what you find in the directories. Both federal and state censuses often have corresponding agricultural schedules, besides the population schedules, so be sure to consult those as well.<br />
<br />
While your rural ancestors may have belonged to a church society and/or a fraternal society such as the Masonic Lodge, they were also likely to have belonged to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Grange_of_the_Order_of_Patrons_of_Husbandry" target="_blank">National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry</a>, known commonly as the Grange, which was founded in 1867. A couple of Grange directories can be found at the <a href="https://archive.org/search.php?query=title%3A%28grange%20directory%29" target="_blank">Internet Archive</a>. Contact the Granges in your ancestral areas, if they still exist, to see if they have records of your ancestor, too.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<br />
Finally, get a sense of what it was like to live in that place and time by looking further into the information at the beginning and end of the directory. Often, you'll find the history of the county; the number of farms within the county and its highest-producing crops and classes of livestock; advertisements from local businesses, some with illustrations or photographs; and farming tips for raising livestock, planting and harvesting crops, symptoms and treatments for disease, pests, and weeds.<br />
<br />
You can find rural directories in the same places you find city directories: offline, in libraries, genealogical and historical societies, archives, and used bookstores; and online, in subscription genealogical websites such as Ancestry, MyHeritage, Fold3, FindMyPast; free-to-access websites such as FamilySearch, the Internet Archive, digitized collections of libraries, archives, genealogical and historical societies; and second-hand book distributors' websites, and auction sites such as Ebay.</div>
<div>
<br />
Rural directories can yield a rich harvest for your genealogical and historical research!</div>

This is the third part of an update I posted yesterday, after spending much of this month adding links to my site to farm and farmer's directories on the <a href="https://archive.org/" target="_blank">Internet Archive</a>. There are 59 new pages and 89 updated pages as a result! Be on the look out for a blog post on how to find and use rural directories in your research, coming soon to this blog.<br />
<br />

<br />
Most city directories listed whether a resident was rooming, boarding, renting, or sometimes owned a home. “Room and board” is not a term one sees often today, other than perhaps in college fees, and most people do not understand the difference between rooming and boarding.
When a person rooms, they pay for the use of a bedroom of a private home or boarding house only. They purchase all their meals elsewhere, either at a restaurant or cafeteria.<br />
<br />
When a person boards, they not only pay for the use of a bedroom, they also receive meals; the payment to the host is called “room and board.” “Board” refers to the table on which food is served. “Half board” means the boarder receives breakfast and dinner, while “full board” means they receive all three meals as part of their arrangement. This is also where the term “bed and breakfast” came from, in boarding situations where only breakfast was provided. In both rooming and boarding situations, the guest shares the rest of the house with the host and other guests; for instance, the living room or parlor, bathroom, and kitchen and dining areas.<br />

It’s not unusual to see the adult children of your ancestors be listed in city directories as boarders in their own parents’ homes. As these young men and women became of age to start working, typically in their teens, they would find a job and begin to help support the family through their board pay until they were financially ready to set up their own households.<br />
<br />
Boarding houses were very common in the nineteenth century, but died out in popularity after the 1930s. Running a boarding house or renting out a room or two was one of the few ways a single woman or widow could earn a respectable living during that time period. Wikipedia has a very good article about the history of boarding houses at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boarding_house">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boarding_house</a>.<br />
<br />
In contrast to room and board, when a person rents, they either rent a completely separate residence from the landlord, or they rent a portion of the landlord’s residence and have their own private living, bedroom, bath, and kitchen areas. There is usually a separate entrance to their living areas as well.

<div style="text-align: left;">
The <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/onlinedirectorysite/Home/usa/wi/dane" target="_blank">Dane County, Wisconsin Online Historical Directories</a> page has been updated with 30 new links, mostly from the Stoughton Public Library's digital collections. Madison is the county seat.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Minor updates and corrections were also applied to the following pages:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/onlinedirectorysite/Home/can/ab/edmonton" target="_blank">Edmonton, Alberta, Canada</a> - corrected one link; added four more from Peel's Prairie Provinces</li>
<li><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/onlinedirectorysite/Home/usa/nj/salem" target="_blank">Salem County, New Jersey</a> - created a workaround for a Distant Cousin link (see below)</li>
<li><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/onlinedirectorysite/Home/usa/mi/kent" target="_blank">Kent County, Michigan</a> - added two links from Hathi Trust Digital Library</li>
<li><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/onlinedirectorysite/Home/usa/ca/santaclara" target="_blank">Santa Clara County, California</a> - created a workaround for a Distant Cousin link (see below)</li>
<li><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/onlinedirectorysite/Home/usa/ca/losangeles" target="_blank">Los Angeles County, California</a> - fixed an incorrect link</li>
</ul>
<div>
Thanks to all who report broken links or new resources. I am making a concerted effort to apply these to the website in a more expedited manner.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Please note the following issues; I appreciate your patience as we work around them:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><b>Some links to city directories at Ancestry</b> - A couple of years ago, I started converting the links to Ancestry on my website over to affiliate links. This means I would get a few cents every time someone clicked on those affiliate links. I had not converted every Ancestry link, as it does take a long time to do. Recently, Ancestry contracted with a different affiliate program. I've applied to the new program and my application is pending. Meanwhile, old affiliate links don't work. This doesn't mean the city directories are no longer at Ancestry. If you get an error on a link to a city directory at Ancestry, you will need to go directly to Ancestry and look for the city directory in their databases yourself until I am able to update the links. They are this database: <a href="https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/usdirectories/" target="_blank">U.S. City Directories, 1822 - 1995</a>. <i>Note: this only affects a small percentage of the Ancestry links on my website; most are still good because I never converted them over to an affiliate link.</i></li>
<li><b>Links to city directories at the Distant Cousins site</b> - This site is no longer online, so when you click on a city directory from the site, you'll get an odd error message. <a href="https://www.myheritage.com/" target="_blank">MyHeritage</a> bought this collection, and it is now available on their website. MyHeritage is a subscription genealogy website, so you will need to purchase one to view those directories. One workaround is to use the WayBack Machine at the <a href="https://archive.org/index.php" target="_blank">Internet Archive</a>. These are "snapshots" of websites that the Internet Archive took of webpages around the internet. When a website gets taken down, many times those "snapshots" are available in the WayBack Machine. I have linked some of the Distant Cousin links to the WayBack Machine and have noted when I have done so. It will take me some time to fix all these links; meanwhile you can either enter the addresses into the WayBack Machine or use a MyHeritage subscription. </li>
</ol>

There are a now a total of 144 links to 98 distinct directories, spanning the years 1865 to 1960, located at six free-to-access and two subscription websites!<br />
<br />
This was done just in time for the <a href="https://conference.ngsgenealogy.org/" target="_blank">National Genealogical Society's 2018 annual conference</a>, hosted by the <a href="http://www.wmgs.org/" target="_blank">Western Michigan Genealogical Society</a> in Grand Rapids.<br />
<br />
On a personal note, this update was done with lots of sentiment, seeing as I have six consecutive generations of ancestors who lived in Kent County!<br />

I've just created a new Facebook group, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/HistoricalCityDirectories/" target="_blank">Historical City Directories</a>, for those genealogists and historians who are interested in learning about and sharing resources for historical city (and other types of) directories. It is a closed group, and I encourage you to join. You must have a Facebook account, of course, and you will be asked a question before being admitted to the group. This will help cut down on spammers.<br /><br />The reason for the creation of the group is to give more interaction for those following my <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/onlinedirectorysite/" target="_blank">Online Historical Directories site</a> than this blog allows. It's a great way to learn about and share resources, both <b>off line</b> and online. I haven't had time to post my Follow Friday articles on this blog, and this medium allows me to do so instantaneously, without a lot of wordsmithing or linkcrafting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This blog will continue to be the place where I post updates for the site (and yes, I realize they are a long time coming!). I look forward to "meeting" you over there!</div>

<i>It's been a year since I've posted updates. I have done a lot of work this past year, but realized that I had not notified my readers via this blog about them. Two most notable changes: the Eve N Don directory site not only changed its name to Don's List after his wife Eve passed away, it also changed its URL (web address). It took quite a bit of time for me to make the appropriate changes to this site. The second change was when the BYU Digital Books site changed to FamilySearch Books. I'm not done changing all those links. Meantime, you can check them out at <a href="https://books.familysearch.org/">FamilySearch Books</a> and do a search for "directory." Additionally, the site Old Directory Search is now offline. I've started to remove some of the dead links, but again, have not gotten to all of them.</i><br />

<i>It's been a year since I've posted updates. I have done a lot of work this past year, but realized that I had not notified my readers via this blog about them. Two most notable changes: the Eve N Don directory site not only changed its name to Don's List after his wife Eve passed away, it also changed its URL (web address). It took quite a bit of time for me to make the appropriate changes to this site. The second change was when the BYU Digital Books site changed to FamilySearch Books. I'm not done changing all those links. Meantime, you can check them out at <a href="https://books.familysearch.org/">FamilySearch Books</a> and do a search for "directory." Additionally, the site Old Directory Search is now offline. I've started to remove some of the dead links, but again, have not gotten to all of them.</i><br />
