A great many cities and also counties now have this information on line. You can look up the site if the current address is the same as the numbering system used a hundred years ago right off the internet. Better double check whether the old address would be the same as today's address. Many cities have changed their numbering systems two or three times for some areas of the city. Many rural counties now have dealt with post office regulations requiring street addresses where there used to be Rural Federal Delivery mailbox numbers. In any case, the online property tax records can be fascinating records of the history of the city or township, and they are also searchable for relationships, like brothers, uncles, and cousins, who owned property. And sometimes even for grandmothers, aunts, and sisters, especially when they survived their male relatives.
