New Pages and Updates - Part 2

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 FamilySearch Books 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.

WA New Pages and Updates

The Washington State Digital Archives has been indexing city and county directories for some time now. Although I have been watching for an announcement on their blog for when these have been placed online, they apparently have not publicized it. I took a closer look today and noticed that several directories are now online, listed under the "Miscellaneous Family History" record collection:

• Benton, Franklin, and Kittitas County Directories, Polk, 1911-2
• Benton, Franklin, and Kittitas County Directories, Polk, 1915-6
• Ellensburg and Kittitas County Directory, Polk, 1923-4
• Lewis and Pacific County Directories, Polk, 1914-5
• Lewis and Pacific County Directories, Polk, 1915-6
• Seattle City Directory, Polk, 1893
• Thurston and Mason County Directories, Polk, 1921-2

I have added all the links to the appropriate county pages: Benton, Franklin, King, Kittitas, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, and Thurston. Benton and Pacific are new pages for this site, so now Washington has 22 of its 39 counties linked.

CA, MO, and WA New Pages and Updates

I finally added all the rest of  links (18 more) to directories from Ancestry to the Orange County, California page.  I also added 21 free links to county and telephone directories from the Fullerton Public Library. It took me a loooong time to get this page completed because Ancestry divided up the directories for this county into three parts and I had to check each part to see which communities it contained so I could label the links correctly. I now have only 10 more California counties' directories at Ancestry to link!

I also added a link from the Hathi Trust Digital Library to the King County, Washington page.

I created the Boone County, Missouri page and added a link to it from the Hathi Trust Digital Library. This now makes five counties, plus the City of St. Louis, linked for Missouri.

IN, KS, KY, ME, MI, NE, NH, NY, OH, OK, PA, VT, VA, WA New Pages and Updates

DC, GA, WA, BC, and ID New Pages and Updates

Here are the latest updates and new pages. I added a few links for the District of Columbia and Georgia from the EveNDon website, then switched to Ancestry and USGenWeb to add all I could find on my home state, Washington, with a few links from neighboring Idaho and British Columbia. I do intend to go back and finish adding all the EveNDon links for the rest of the states, but it's nice sometimes to mix things up a little.

Speaking of EveNDon, I noticed when I was on the site earlier that there is a memorial to Eve, who passed away June 30th. How sad! She and Don have given the genealogical community such a gift by uploading these directories to their site and not charging at all to view them. The site does take donations, so I encourage you to donate something as a way of giving back to the genealogical community.

Some good news: The Got Genealogy? website has declared the Online City, County, and Rural Directory Site their July 2009 Site of the Month! I stumbled upon this great website a while ago doing a Google search for city directories and found Lisa's helpful free online newsletter on that topic. I wrote more about Got Genealogy? on my other blog here. Check it out! I'm sure you'll love all the goodies at Got Genealogy?!

I added all the Washington State directories that I could find anywhere online...mostly at Ancestry and USGenWeb sites. I believe that I have 99% of the directories available online for this state now linked on my site. There are probably a few out there that might be "hidden": Pacific Coast directories or British Columbia directories that might have some listings for Washington residents. I'll keep my eye out. Meantime, if you have ancestors or relatives from Washington State, enjoy the links! I am disappointed that there are not more free sites that contain Washington directories (most are linked to Ancestry). However, do not forget that the Washington State Digital Archives are preparing to upload many Polk directories for Washington communities to their website, hopefully in September. Volunteers are needed; if you would like to help this project along, check out this post I wrote in May.

Indexing Project for Washington State City Directories

I received the following information from Terri Huntley, Historical Records Project Coordinator for the Washington State Digital Archives:

The Historical Records Project is designed for people to work from home using their computer/internet to transcribe or proofread selected documents (census, military, directories, birth, death, naturalization, and other materials). It isn't necessary to commit to specific hours since you work from your home donating your time at your convenience. The indexing efforts are posted online at the Washington State Digital Archives site: www.digitalarchives.wa.gov

Currently, many of the volunteers are transcribing many of the early Polk Directories that have been scanned at the Washington State Library. (We're working on early Seattle directories right now).

If you’re interested in volunteering, I need to know your spreadsheet preference: Works or Excel and your mailing address. Once we decide on a project to start on, I email a template and mail out paper copies along with postage paid return envelope. Once you have completed the project, you email the file back and return the paper copies in the envelope.

If you’re interested in volunteering, email Terri Huntley at: thuntley@secstate.wa.gov
