At one point or another, we’ve all wondering about the history of the house where we live.  When was it built?  Who have the owners been over the years?  Is my house historically significant?  These questions often go unanswered because people aren’t sure where to start looking.  The truth is… local government agencies keep all kinds of records about you and the property where you live.  Most of the records are freely available to the public and can be viewed not just by genealogists or scholars but by people like you and me.
