Other than newspaper articles there is no place to look - there is no central clearing house for this info.

For a "history" of your house read your abstract. For anything else try Googling your house or access your local papers archives. Good luck, Tom

There is no "history" of your house, not online or anywhere that deals with who may have died in your house, or even who lived in your house.

You can go to the courthouse and see who has owned your house. You can talk to older neighbors about things that has happened in the house, or even find past owners

If in the US, you can go to your local tax assessor's website and look up the prior owner's names, and then cross reference those names in the media. You might have to go to the tax office physically, as not all have updated to online services.

Or you can talk to the older, long term residents in your neighborhood or area, like Fr chuck mentioned.

Or the search the address at the local newspaper archives - on line if they are available.
