Start with the present and work your way backwards. Tax and deed records (recorder's office) will help you with ownership. Wills and estate records may also provide clues. It's possible the original property may have been added to or divided up (between heirs) at some point in time. There are even occasions when the actual house itself has been moved to a different location. Yolanda Campbell Lifter ylifter@ohiofamilyresearch.com
