I'm doing some research on an old property so I only have the address rather than the owner's name - is there an easy way to search for this info online?|||Location, location, location.
SOME (not all) counties have the tax assessor records online. You can start with this, to determine the present named owner. From there back, what you would want is a title search, if you need names and dates of ALL owners. One cool feature in Dallas co, TX is that a property is shown on a map, but it includes the grant/abstract number (and outline) of the original grantee. Your county may have some sort of similar feature, or may not.. it is just random. You should not expect to have the entire land records acessible, due to the huge volume.
Once you know name(s) of the owners, you would usually be able to find them in census, but that would be prior to 1930 only. Keep in mind.. if property is rented, it will show as resident in the census, not the owner.
You are not specific on your needs, but a faster way, might be to look up a title company in your area (I assume it is your same county). Sometimes they will have title abstracts that show the record of the owners.. I can't say if they can make that available to public, or would probably charge a fee. It is what they do for a business. |||No, the old census records don't record street address and the transcriptions of the newer ones didn't capture that information even when it was listed. They record people by census tract and enumeration district. The addresses are written in the first column, but no one captured them. If you want to see who lived at a certain address, there are two options. Contact the Recorder of Deeds office in that county for the name of the property owner at that time, then pull up that person's records on one of the census transcription sites. Or, go to the library or LDS Family History Center, pull the films and look them up that way.|||Ancestry.com has great records. You can sign up on line by the month or for 6 months or more depending on your need. I went ahead and did the 6 month membership and researched my family tree back to the 1500's. I was even able to get immigration records for my grandfather from Germany for an additional small fee.|||No. You need to contact the municipal or county hall of records or their municipal dept. They can direct you to the correct area.|||try here...they have a great census record and it's free.http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.鈥?/a>
