Greek directories, dating back to the 19th and early 20th centuries, serve as crucial tools for tracing family histories, especially given the scarcity of early census records. City and business directories, municipal registers, and church records document residents' names, occupations, and addresses. Given Greece’s history of emigration, directories can help locate ancestors before their migration. Additionally, local professional listings and electoral rolls provide insight into an ancestor’s role in their community. These directories are essential for reconstructing family histories, particularly in urban centers like Athens and Thessaloniki.
