Thanks to members here I've discovered the online version of Lovell's Directories. I just took a trip down memory lane looking up family members and neighbours. I like the way it shows employment. For any who do not know where to find them, here is the link.

This one works, thanks.
I'm looking for the addresses of my great grand parents who immigrated to Montreal in the late 1800s from ireland. My G.G.F's name is Patrick Foy, not that common a name. So far I've hit dead ends, but will continue to search.

That is great Maggie. Thanks so much.

Not to be gruesome but there are lots of Foy entries at Cote des Neiges also bear in mind that if they married into french families the de Foy entries could also be family. The English used Fitzgerald son of Gerald etc not sure if O'Brien would be son of Brien but de foy could be son of Foy for what it is worth. http://www.cimetierenddn.org/en/services/necrologie/resultats.asp
Thanks Shirley. Here is my Grand Mother who died before I was born.

'The ______Name in History'.
Go to Amazon.com and type in your surname in the blank space above on a book search, Ancestors.com probably has a history book of your name. It apparently explains where your name originated from and where your ancestors maybe residing today.
I ordered mine already so possible you'd want to wait until I check it out before you buy. It's not cheap, and only 90+ pages. I bet much of the information is common to all names, and just a few pages on each particular surname, but I'll soon find out.
