How to Use These Records

A letter remaining notice does not prove permanent residence, but it can place a person near a particular post office at a particular moment in time. For laborers, migrants, women, tenants, and others who appear only rarely in formal records, these newspaper lists may be one of the few surviving traces of their presence in the area.
