Welcome to wholivedthere.com
wholivedthere.com is a free website. However you need to register first to add or access data.
This is a "build and share database". Users are invited to add their own data and share it with others. As the website grows and more properties and people are added and linked, it will provide interest to users worldwide who are fascinated to know who lived where and when.
There is no pre-existing loaded data so as a new website it is unlikely that you will be lucky enough to find people and property you know, already added. But every property and every person here has been added by users like you. Users add properties they or their family and friends live in or once lived in. You simply add a property, then add a person, then link them together indicating what years they lived there (or were born there or married there or worked there or died there).
By adding what you know and sharing the information with other users of the site, as the database grows, one day you may be able to trace the homes of your ancestors as well as finding out more about the history of the houses you have lived in. Whether you are a keen genealogist, a hobby family historian or simply intrigued to know who lived in your house before you did or who else used to live in your street, this is the website for you. Maybe you want to know when your house was built or if there was an earlier house on the same site, wholivedthere.com will be able to help you thanks to the contributions of the knowledge of users from all over the world.
Quite apart from finding other people's properties and links, when you start by adding, say, one of your own grandparents and then linking them to all the places they lived in from birth to death, it really can build up a fascinating picture of their life. Look, for example, at the person record for Charles Harrison Bell. Go to "Person Search" and enter Charles Harrison Bell and then familiarise yourself with his record. It gives a very good idea of the kind of information that this website can collate.
