Common telephone directories can be useful tools in your genealogical
research. Current directories for towns and cities where your ancestors or
their relatives lived can help you make contact with "lost" lines. Older
telephone directories, both the white and yellow pages, can be used to
locate family members between censuses. White pages can provide family
members' street addresses, which in turn can be used to locate records or
help you fine-tune your census research. Yellow pages listings can point you
to family business or help you locate mortuaries where funeral and burial
records may be retained. These directories can often be found in collections
of the local public library or their branches, in county offices, in state
archives, in genealogical or historical societies' collections, or in the
local telephone company's office archives.

BTW, I have a local directory available for the Middle GA area.
Will do lookups.
