  1. Best thing I can think of is to go to the local recorder of deeds. Find out who owned it over the years. Once you get their names Google them. If an obit doesn't pop up you can go to your state records dept to find dates of death(there is usually a fee). From the death records you should be able to determine how, why, where etc they died. If you find an obit you might also find next of kin and figure out if they lived at the same residence. If you need to know about unrelated people, you probabaly have a lot more work to do . Good luck


  2. Your best bet is to start with the City/County and then hit the local library archives for articles, etc. From there you can hit the ancestry websites.

  3. I'm not aware of such a website. How would anyone know? See that was something most people didn't want to know when buying a house, so it wasn't something that was recorded.  It isn't recorded today.  

    You can research your home through the county offices, they keep all the owners records on each home.

  4. How do you know if anyone died in your house?  Not all houses have been died in yet.

  6. I doubt there are any websites that list who died in every house in the world, or even attempt it.

    However, lets see if I can give you a psychic viewpoint. Your house is haunted by the ghost of a child, and an entity that appears as an older man with a hat, but is actually a demon, not a person.

    Does this sound accurate?

  7. It is sort of like doing ancestry research, but you need to look for the records of deeds. And then maybe the census records for the the time they had the house and then death records.

    I am sure it will be a lot of work, so good luck.

  8. You can find out all the previous owners through your county's land records for free, but there is no way to find out which of them may have died there. And maybe none of them did, maybe they died at the hospital or somewhere else. And if someone died there that was not the property owner, there's no way to know that. When something like a death happens, if the family selling the home even tells the realtor, (often they don't) the realtor will often keep it to themselves. A lot of potential buyers are funny about that and don't want to know.
