Message Board Post:
The abstract of the property should have the former owners names. Deed transactions at the
courthouse should be available to trace the house's history. When you find some names,
you can do a census research in the 1900,1910,1920 and 1930 census to find out more about
the families. You can do an archive research of the newspapers to look for obituaries or
other information. Death records are probably available at the county and/or state level
when you find the names and dates. Probate records could also be used to see who inherited
the property. All of this should be available at the county courthouse. Hope this helps.
