You should be able to find that information out at your local city hall. They can direct you to the department that keeps records for the land in their city. As far as I know, information like that is public record.

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.

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!

Click the link below, then click Bolsa de Madrid on the left side of the page. Then, click History. You will be given a history presentation you can click through. You will probably find what you're looking for there.\n\nTake care!
