Monroe County, New York City, County, and Rural Directories

I'll shortly be adding Rochester City Directories from the Monroe County Library for the years 1900 - 1929, plus many Monroe County community directories from Ancestry covering many years.

Links to directories at Ancestry are to the images themselves, which are browsable. Non-subscribers will not be able to view these. Non-subscribers can, however, use the search engine and see a listing of possible results (but no images or further details).  To search by name, directory, year, or keyword, go to Ancestry's U.S. City Directories search engine.
