Thank you to the Indiana Genealogical Society for providing this pdf link: http://www.indgensoc.org/membersonly/igs/research_topics/indiana_city_directories_online.pdf
Here are a couple of examples of how city directories have contributed to my family history.
Above is an excerpt from the 1898 Indianapolis City Directory listing Albert, Otto and William Marsischky, all family members. It narrows down their occupations and their residences.
On the right is a page listing the Kuhns living in Indianapolis in 1878. Here we find that our Charles Kuhn is a brewer for C. F. Schmidt and his residence is 91 High St. As far as we know the other Kuhns are not related. But who knows what future connections will develop.
Thanks for visiting Indiana Ties,
Nancy
