Robert,
One reason I could see doing it would be if you had one for each year, and
then you could tell what years you didn't have a person.
For instance:

1910 Living at 305 Wells Ave
1911 Living at 305 Wells Ave
1912
1913 Living at 2409 Johnes Ave
That would remind you that she hasn't been found in 1912. However, it could
make for boring reading. <G>

Any information I give that you can't find in your version of TMG 5.1 is
probably due to customization on my part.

Subject: [TMG] custom "City Directory" tag vs. standard "Residence" tag.
Pros and cons??

Hi all,

I have been debating with myself how I should handle the growing number
of entries in a spreadsheet for appearances in City Directories. I
thought about creating a custom "City Directory" tag, a la the "Census"
tag that already exists. If I do, will that get exported in gedcom if I
ever need to do an export?

On the other hand, there is the standard "Residence" tag that could be
used. Since this IS a standard tag, it will definately be
exported...correct?

Frankly, I don't forsee a need to worry about custom tags, but since I
haven't done any great amount of entry as of yet, figure I should
consider it for future consequences.

What are other people doing regarding handling City Directory
information? And what about custom tags in general? Are people using
them regularly??

Later,

Robert
