The oldest directories available in Florida date back to the mid-19th century and are particularly useful for tracing ancestors through periods of rapid population growth. City and business directories for Jacksonville, Miami, and Tampa document individuals’ names, occupations, and residences. These records help genealogists track migration, particularly as Florida became a major hub for tourism and agriculture. Electoral registers and land ownership directories further aid in identifying early settlers and property owners.
