What government or genealogy site will tell me who lived in my grandparents hous

Question:

What government or genealogy site will tell me who lived in my grandparents house in the 1940s ?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I would go to the local library in the town where your grandparents resided. Many libraries keep old directories of their town. Some directories have the capability to look up a street and see the names of all of the surrounding neighbors. Some genealogy sites have a directory or two on them for various towns, but this is more the exception than the rule. The government sites don't have directories on them. Truthfully, the library is the best bet.

If you want to look at deed records, you will have to check the county clerks office in the county where your grandparents lived.
