What Are Criss Cross Phone Directories?
Many of us assume that phone books, including the white and yellow pages, have had exclusive rights over publishing phone information for the last hundred years or so. The reality of the situation is a bit different. In major cities, city directories and what became known as criss cross directories have been providing the same kind of information but in an easier to access way. Now, reverse phone number traces are letting people everywhere access the same information that has always been out there but in an inventive and fun new way. If you aren´t familiar with criss cross directories, don´t feel bad. Unless you grew up in a major city, you probably never heard of them before. A criss cross directory takes the same information as a phone book and organizes it by address or by phone number. Instead of looking someone up by last name, you can look up your address and then find everyone who lives around you so you can contact them much easier. Makes sense, right?
