Residents of Delaware Bend - Defiance County Directory 1892-1893

One of the complications in tracing a family back in history is the lack of the 1890 census. A fire in the basement of the U.S. Commerce Department in 1921 destroyed more than 75% of the most extensive census taken up to that time. Fire, smoke and water destroyed the documents. Good substitutes for finding an ancestor during that time period are city and county directories.
