Howdy, Soapy. Welcome from Arizona. The best place to start (other than your own home and neighborhood) is the library....read the old newspapers and the local histories written by the old timers. If you search through our beginners section, you'll find lots of tips on how to search and what type of placeds to look for. In a nutshell, you want to identify the places where people exchanged money or where they may have lost money (or other items) or where people gathered to have fun. Think of places like swimming holes, fishing holes, fairgrounds, old parks, etc. Also when you're reading the old newspapers and books look for stories about people who either came into a lot of money suddenly or lost money suddenly. Also fires, robberies, etc.
