Wisconsin City DirectoriesThis information is now located at my business site: Genealoger.com. You will be redirected shortly. Thank you for your interest in my site. Duane Bogenschneider Starting in the 1840s and continuing well into the 1900s, many cities had directories that listed people at their home addresses and often included occupational information. These are not telephone directories, but a listing of who lived or worked at a particular address in the city. Most directories were arranged two ways: alphabetically by name and by street address. These entries can answer a variety of questions such as: Who lived at a specific address? Was this the occupant, the owner, or a renter? What was their occupation? Was this a residence, a business, or were both located in the same place? In cases where occupation and titles are given, one can often see the rise or fall in the fortunes of past owners by noting changes in their occupational description from year to year.
