The City Directory lists the names of individuals living in San Jos along with their place of residence and occupation. Beginning with the 1911 edition, names of spouses and children over 18 were also included. In 1915, a street index was added to the City Directory. This is the feature which will be most helpful to persons researching their house since it allows the searcher to look up a specific address and find who was living there. Large parts of present day San Jos will not be included in the early City Directories.
Street names can change.
For example, in 1913 Whitney became 12th Street. 12th Street became 13th Street. Priest became 14th Street. 13th Street became 15th. Crittenden became 16th Street.
