Note: Might Directories were bought out by R. L. Polk & Company of Livonia, Mi., and in later years assumed their name. Carfax is one of many subsidiaries of R. L. Polk & Company. Carfax is the motor vehicle database which allows people to look up their automobile's history by inputting their V.I.N. number. In 2000 Polk sold their city directory division to Equifax. In 2001, Canadian City Directories were discontinued, citing Canada's new Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, which came into effect Jan. 1, which placed severe limits on any company that would try to gather the information needed for a directory. Therefore, the 2000 directory will in all probability be the last Provincial/City Directory you will see produced.
An additional resource are telephone directories. Some are available through the above resources, and we have two online currently on the Island Register:
Telephone Company of Prince Edward Island 1922 Telephone Directory The Island Telephone Company Ltd. 1935 Telephone Directory
