Hi

Please can someone tell me if you can still see trade directories online. I am sure I used to be able to but can't find the site now.

I am trying to find out which directories are available for somerset.

Thanks for your help

Google would be the place to start.

Or the reference section of the public libraries in the county

Thanks ErikaH

I tried Google and couldn't find anything. I will have to take a look in the library and see what I can find there.

If you are looking for historical trade directories trying googling Trade Directories Online and you should get a couple of inks to Leicester University Special Collections.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
