Answer 1/2 - Submitted 1/27/2010

The only thing I can think of is to check with your local City Hall and/or Police Department for the records on your home.

 
 

Answer 2/2 - Submitted 1/27/2010

In one or two states the seller is actually required to inform you of this, but you may have to ask specifically.

You could check back through the ownership records at City Hall.

Another possibility might be the files of the local newspaper.

If a house is old enough the chances are pretty good somebody has died there.
