I am trying to find the history of ownership regarding a property. Where should I begin? This is an issue sure to come up in estate dealings, and I'd like to have proof of the history of certain properties. Thanks for any help!!

Contact a local title company. Order a title report on the address. The cost is minimal and you only pay if you close on a loan. Or better yet let a local lender you are used to working with handle it.
If you want to do it on your own, go to the court house where the property is and talk to the register of deeds office they will help you out. It should only take a few minutes... you put in the address in the computer system and it will let you know of any and all liens on the property how much they paid and who all the prior owners are.

Depending on how far back you want to go, you can either look up the information at your County Recorder's Office, or hire a Title Company to do an Abstract of Title. The title company will charge you for the abstract since it goes back to the first recordings of ownership. For me I would use the title company, but that is because I would want an indisputable resource. Also, I would not want to spend a lot of time looking at microfilm, only to find out I missed something important. If you just get the title company to run title work, it will not show all the previous owners, it will only show what they intend to insure against.

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aNEXs
Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.
You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

Go to the county clerk's office. They have books by legal description on all pieces of land & homes, etc. There you can see everything that ever happened to that particular parcel, all neat and tidy in a book. It's cool. I do it a lot. THen from the entries in that book, you can find the actual papers or PDF files of the papers if on microfilm and make copies if you need them.

The following link should help you out. Click on your state and then your county and look up your address. If it is a bad link or is not what you are looking for, call your local Appraisal District. It will be listed by your county, NOT your city. Good luck

county tax records will show everything. Gotta go down there and look it all up. you can find very recent data on their websites, but a total history requires a visit down there.
