How do I find my home history?

Question

I am wondering, how do I find my home history, past owners, info...etc in Chicago on a website, please?

Answer 1

Go to your county website and look for the online property records link. These records will show previous owners and sale prices.

Is this your county?

Here you can search by address.

Answer 2

Hey don't give into the bribery above me. Try the Illinois Lands records Office

www.illinoisgenealogy.org/land.htm.

They keep records from 1902-1960. They will be able to give you advice on how to rearch for records from before and after those times.

Good luck. It sounds like an interesting project. I hope you find out the guys who wrote the Constitution spent the night there or something else really cool!
