You can check the 1905, 1910 or 1915 census. You can check city directories. Or, you can send $10 to the state archives and they will do a five year check and send you the certificate or a not found note. Or you can send the $4 + $1 for each year you want searched, up to five years to the state dept of Health and Senior Services. H&SS will take about five months to get you an answer.
