you have already received many great suggestions but I would add that perhaps the California State Library has the Hayward directory you are looking for. I would recommend Ask-a-Librarian also as this has worked very well for me when researching in other states. Lisa In a message dated 2/27/2012 1:36:29 P.M.

I am currently trying to find any library or FHC that might have Polk City Directories for Hayward (Alameda County) CA for the time period of 1925-1927. The Family History Library in Salt Lake City has Polk Directories for 1930-32 & 1934 (which does not help), the Boston Public Library supposedly has it on microfiche as does the Indianapolis Public Library. I have tried the Hayward Public Library and the Hayward FHC (both online). I have also tried the Southern CA Genealogical Society's Library online catalog, the San Diego Genealogical Society's Library online catalog, the Los Angelles Public Library's online catalog and last but not least I tried the Sutro Library in South San Francisco. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where else I can search. All I know is that the family moved from Gloucester MA to Hayward in either 1925 or 1926, lived there until summer of 1927 and that they lived "on Orchard Street near the elementary school." Unfortunately, my mother and all of her siblings are deceased. Does anyone have any suggestions of places that might these records within California or does anyone have access to the Boston Public Library? Thank you to all for all your help.
