	This information is taken mainly from the Sands and McDougall  Directories of SA. Until 1941, the directories had a summary of important information about the town before the individual person entries, but then it became just a list of names with some occupations included beside the names. Not all townspeople were  listed-mostly only the employed of whom most were males. Often the details were out of date and incorrect. Newspaper advertisements show the information was collected at the end of the year up to about February and then the directories were published. Some newspaper articles say that information was collected by doorknocking, but that obviously didn't always happen. I have mentioned doctors and chemists when they were present in the lists because there were not many in Port Germein ever. The focus is on the town rather than neighbouring farming areas, because that is where I lived and farming has been covered quite well in other publications.  I summarised trades and more uncommon or historical occupations but not those of farmer, labourer, gardener or fisherman. Older directories would seem to be more accurate and detailed than modern ones, partly because the population was much smaller and the sources of information fewer. Sands and McDougall did not have Port Germein included in their country areas after the 1970 directory, and the directories themselves ended with that of 1973. Other references were: "Hotels and Publicans in South Australia-1836-1993" by JL Hoad, "The Jetties of South Australia Past and Present" by Neville Collins, "Where have the children gone?" by Norman Haines published for the 1981 school centenary. Details about the Palais came from the minutes of  The District Council of Port Germein from 1927 to 1965. Some more recent information has come from phone books which were organised by town until 1978. After that people were arranged in alphabetical order within telephone districts and a snapshot of the towns was thus lost.   Some details re Post Office were added 11-4-2015, taken from "The Post, Telegraph and Telephone Offices of South Australia and The Northern Territory" by Martin Walker, 2004. I obtained 2 sheets of details re serving police officers at Port Germein during an open day at the Police Museum, Thebarton, in 2016, with thanks.
