Have the city directories for Chicago been posted online anywhere for genealogy research?

Toya Braskett: Here is a good article about online Chicago City Directories. Fold 3 also has a large online collection of city directories.http://sassyjanegenealogy.blogspot.mx/2011/03/tues...

Craig Virani: Ancestry.com has 1,242,329 persons listed in Chicago, IL City directories for the years 1894 +&- 5 years.

Codi Manchel: Ancestry.com and Fold3 are excellent sources. Remember you can access Ancestry.com for free at your local library. Also check with the website FamilySearch.org, mormon website, no fee charged for access.Fold3 is by subscribing only. I can tell you that the Historical/Genealogy Society has the original directories and they are very delicate. You can also view the microfilm copies, if you are living in the area go there. If you are not a member there is a small fee, but I do not remember the price.Good luck....Show more
