House History

[adee7]

Sometimes people have written small booklets about their
families and homes, then deposited the material with their
local libraries.

I have found interesting information in some of these.

Another source of information at your local library is maps of the area.  Many libraries have large scale maps of an area going back to the middle of the 19th century, which if you are lucky could name the house for you.

If there is a local historical society which produces a regular journal this could also be a good source of information.  They often include histories of a chapel, or of a road that could produce just the information for which you are looking.  Copies can usually be found on the local studies shelf of even a small library.
