My brother (RIP) lived in Orange Co, California about 15 years ago and I'd love to see a photo of his house. I can't find a free address site that goes back that far. thanks

How about maps.google.com? Just enter the address in the search box. Good luck!

Sounds like OP needs to find the address in an old directory.

Here are 2 places to try:

https://familysearch.org/search/coll...ameFilter=true

http://www.unitedstatesphonebook.com/ (this one finds info with just Last Name and State !!, but only last 20 years)

If necessary, try different variations on the name ( Middle Initial etc) (Last Name only) etc

If you Google the address including zip code, a picture of the house should immediately come up.

There's also the old school way of doing this. Call the local library in the town that he lived in & ask them to look up his name in a 15 year old telephone directory. Most local libraries have them on file.

Once you have the address than you can use showmystreet.com - fast & easy street viewing to try to see what the house looks like today. Some areas you can see a street level photo of the house, but other areas just an aerial view.

It shouldn't be hard to find by searching Google, but another option you can try is if he owned the house, go to the Orange County Records Search and see if you can find the address that way by searching for his name.

Just hit the SEARCH and go by NAME and it should come up.
