What Should I Do To Find The History Of My House?

Answer Question

    Your local courthouse should have the complete records of past owners, dates of purchase and sales, and usually includes the price paid each time.

    Our local museum can also look up the information if the home is over one hundred years old. You might check to see if you have one that can help you.

    You might try with the previous owner, and try tracing it back that way, but if it is really old the people might not be around anymore to tell you much.

      If you live in the UK see my answer of the 5 February regarding all the sources that are available in the British Isles for anyone wanting to research their house history. I am a researcher  for the history of houses and would advise these sources and any other information that a local records office, archives can suggest.
      If you put house history in the search box above you will see another list of answers to the question which will help UK researchers.
