Who lived in your home before you?

Want to know who lived in your home in the past? The simplest search is through city directories that were printed annually. They’re available by appointment at the Toronto City Archives at 255 Spadina Road, (416) 397-0778, but are also searchable and printable online.

Open https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/history-genealogy/lh-digital-city-directories.jsp and search for the directory of the year you want to research. It will give you several options for search and the most convenient is a pdf version, which is printable.
