About Canadian Phone and Address Directories, 1995-2002

This database is a collection of phone and address directories from throughout Canada from 1995-2002. With over 10 million entries, information contained in this database includes:

  • Name
  • Spouse's name
  • Address
  • City
  • Province
  • Phone number
  • Year(s) (1995-2002 for which the individual had the same address and phone number)

Telephone directories are the descendants of city directories, with the criterion for inclusion simply being subscription to a particular phone service. Telephone directories are useful as locators of a person in a specific time and place and are very useful for twentieth-century family research. This type of directory can be great for locating living distant relatives, long lost friends, and neighbors of relatives.
