Question:

Do you know any Websites where i can research property history, Thanks?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: This is a general hint. Even though you go in through YA Canada, YA Australia, YA UK or YA USA, all of the questions go into one big "pot" and get read by everyone in the world who speaks English. Most of the people here are in the UK and USA, but you sometimes get questions and answers from people who worry about kangaroos eating their roses. So - put a nation, or, better yet, if you are asking about a specific individual, a nation and a state / province in all of your questions. It will help people help you.

Now for specifics:

In the USA, you have to go to the public library and look through old city directories to find out who lived in a house over the years. If the property is famous, there may be a web site devoted to it, but usually there isn't.

The county building department may have data they will share with you. Tax records can tell you who lived there too.

Finally, a Title Insurance Company can search for you, although they are mainly in the western states and will charge you for their time.
