Many people want to know the history of their house. Here’s how to research it using your deed
- Use the Book of Deeds in the Washington County Clerk’s office in Ft Edward
- Your deed tells the Book number and Page number where your deed is filed in Ft Edward
- It also has the Book number and Page number of the previous deed with names and dates.
- Find that previous deed using Book number and Page number and you’ll have the owner before that
- From that deed you’ll have the Book number and Page number of the deed before that and so on
- Within a couple of hours, you’ll have names and dates associated with the history of your house
