== History ==
*[http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=4727 Pacific Coast Directory, 1867] ($)
Directories have been published for various Alabama cities and counties since the early 1800s, though they may not be available for every year. Some directories focus on the businesses or occupations of an area, others include heads of households, landowners, and voters.

*[http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=4517 Seattle, Washington City Directories, 1888-90] ($)
City and county directories are similar to present-day telephone books and are useful records for locating people. They were often published annually. They list heads of households and employed household members with their occupations and addresses. They can be used with census records or as substitutes for them.
