Have you tried the local library?  They might have some books with the history of the city, and you might find some of the information on the street names in them.

Find a local metal detecting club. Other than that try parks, old farm houses, beaches, school grounds, vacant lots where houses once stood. Basically anyplace people have been.

Wow 1800s? That's probably gonna make your search harder but you can try http://www.zabasearch.com or you can try genealogy and ancestry search websites. Zabasearch is free but some of the genealogy and ancestry websites charge depending on how much information they have. Another resort will be to check with your local library. They often have genealogy and ancestry records and they can be of help to you. Good luck with your search.

Genealogy.com would be a good place to start. If you have a local historical/genealogical society, check with them.

You might want to try Ancestry.com. If it's not there, the best way is to contact the public library in the town where they lived. Contact info at the second link below.

The links listed above are good but are pay services, as well as geneology.com. However, if you have all your info ready you can sign up for a 2 week free trial and get most all of your work done in that time...especially since you are not going back that far.\n\nI traced my fathers side back to the late 15th century this way. Real neat stuff but also very addictive so be careful. Also easy to get lead in a bad direction so double and triple check all your results before moving to the next generation.\n\nAlso, a decent free site is www.rootsweb.com. \n\nNewsgroups are an excellent resource as well but too complicated to explain here. Feel free to email me if you need help getting started.
