If you're looking for genealogy records in Sacramento, try searching for fire insurance maps. Next month there's a lecture at the downtown public library on using Genealogy Using Fire Insurance Maps. Fire Insurance maps were originally created in the 19th century in the United States for assessing fire insurance liability in urbanized areas. You can find out the names of the people that owned the house and land at different dates.
