Old City Directories, property
maps, and other documents often will give you the names
of people who owned or lived in your old house. It is often
possible to learn more about these people by checking the following
sources. |
- California
Room Database
This unique
online source indexes more than 75,000 references
to people, places, and events in San José and
Santa Clara County History. It is the best place to
start looking for information on people, particularly
those active in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
