phillybear 366 Posted November 26, 2007 Walk up to building, put a death grip on the front door handle, and demand answers or the house will be walking funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,799 Posted November 26, 2007 First thing's first. Type the address into your favorite search engine. You can also cross-ref property tax records against obituaries. hth. ttfn. bfd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,799 Posted November 26, 2007 Also - You can go a library in your area that has a lot of genealogical information, that have helpful tools such as criss-cross directories. You can go back quite a ways depending on how old the house is. You can trace the people that have lived there either by address or name. Once you have done that, you can determine if they died in your city/county. You can do that at www.rootsweb.com and see if they are listed there. Any death before 1955, this site would not be much of a help. You can also look up older death records are the courthouse or at a genealogical library that holds the records on microfilm. Once you get a date, you can attempt to look up the obituaries at the library on microfilm. If that does not work, you can request a place of death from the courthouse, city hall, or health depatment (who ever it is that handles the death certificates in your area) I hope that I made some sense. 3 months ago Or, you could just look for the chalk outline.
