Alpena City Directory 1897-1898

 

This directory can help you with that sticky time period between 1880 and 1900 where the census was made unavailable. 

Some of the ads are images and some are transcribed. The names have all been transcribed in order to make it easier for the search engines to pick up information.

Anyway, the project has been started, so stay tuned for more information!
