Maryborough & Wide Bay Burnett Business Directory 1874 Almanacs, post office and trade directories are useful for tracing the addresses and movements of ancestors. A listing in the directory can help to confirm a persons whereabouts at a certain time, just as a sudden disappearance from the directory can provide a clue about the date of a persons death.
