You can go to local library and check newspaper archives for any mention of the street address.  Of course, it would be easier if you had an idea of the time that the incident occured.  \n\nIf you don't know, you could ask at a local community board or neighborhood association if anyone remembers the incident or has more information on local resources to do such research.

You might be able to find out some info on the computer, it's really going to depend on where you are and what exactly you want to find out. If you're looking for information about who owns the property, I'd suggest looking up your local tax assessor to see if they have a database. If they don't, you may be able to find out who they have listed as the owner by calling them. Yes, a title company search can tell you a lot about the property, but it may not be the information that you're looking for. Normally a title report (sometimes called a "commitment") will tell you about any open liens (mortgages, tax liens, unpaid contractors, etc.), easements, conditions and restrictions (for example, you can't have a fence more than 6' high in this neighborhood, that sort of thing). However, if you're looking for more of a history of the building (did any famous people live here, any exciting events, etc.), you'd probably want to check with the neighbors and/or the historical society. Hopefully this helps, Good luck!

Sometimes in open property records , an owner may have a picture on file . My sister found one of her home in the records dated 100 years ago . Besides a picture you can find out who owns it , how much they paid for it ,When they bought it .Call city hall in that state , ask for property information , then ask what is on file and if they can give you a web sight . Good Luck !

If it is of some historical significance you may find something at the historical society, otherwise you are probably out of luck.  You might check at your local city or county building department if there were any recent remodeling or renovations to the house, they may have something close to blueprints.

Start by looking at the website for the American Homebuilders Association.  Google "housing industry history".  Ask your local reference librarian for help too - the web is not always the most efficient source for information.

go to your local court building or city hall - I bet there are records in the basement somewhere.  I researched my apartment only to get lost in stories about folks...getting hit by a carriage, shot an adultress, TB, dying of odd stuff - it was facinating

go to myheritage.com that site should help. \n\nthere is also ancestry.com but you have to pay for that I think.

I would do a search for a city government website for your city...they may have a link to the courthouse, which could probably give you some info...or at least a place to start

You don't really give enough information. How was the house nearly fatal? Was it the person's fault it was nearly fatal, or was it simply a freak accident? Would a reasonable person expect the person's actions to harm you?

I tried and tried to find a website that had the information for you, but had no success whatsoever.\n\nMaybe look through a local newspaper archive for the information?

Hi, you may need to be more specific.  What kind of historical people?  Traditionally, down here in the south, you should check with the Historical Society (or as some folks call it the "hysterical society" - because they are always telling us what we cannot do to our houses in our historic districts).  I hope this helps.

Where are you located?  If you are in Houston, go to the downtown library, not the current one but the old one.  While your there ask about the ghost.  True rumors. They have all kinds of historical data.

Your county recorders office.  They will have all the info on your home; past uses, owners, liens and judgments filed against, ect.

You need to find a library with microfiche files of old newspapers for that area. If there was a conviction there may also be a record of that in the courthouse where it happened but you would probably have to pay someone to get you that info since it would take some digging through old files by a clerk. \nThat is about it.
