Teller County Colorado Genealogy Resources: City Directories

A typical City Directory includes Name, Occupation, and residence. For example, the following entry in the 1917-1918 entry for Cripple Creek:

Irving James, watchman, res 415 E. Golden av.

This is interesting information, but by itself is meaningless. All it means is that the creator of the Cripple Creek city directory recorded a person by that name living at that address. It is a valid clue. Naturally you would want to check adjacent years to see if that person is listed.

The family historian must master the art of storytelling. What, after all, is truth without anecdote, history without events, explanation without narration--or yet life itself without a story? Stories are not just the wells from which we drink most deeply but at the same time the golden threads that hold and bind--Ariadne's precious string that leads us through the labyrinth that connects living present and the living past.
