Having many friends with older homes got me thinking. A few years ago, I started a search for previous owners of my house. It was built in 1976 and a major addition in 1981. A free search was done at the county assessor's office, and I copied each warranty deed. I am the 5th owner and when I sell it, I will forward all to the next owner. Also wrote a history of everything I had done, when I had done it, and any pertinent information.
