Does anyone know how to research the owner history on our classic Tbirds?

How is anyone going to know what your post is about when you title it "1956"? Please follow the posting prompts moving forward. I corrected your title.

It depends on your State. In California, it is relatively difficult to impossible to research this data. Due to privacy issues, the State DMV will not provide much information. If your vehicle was always registered in the current State, then you can contact your State DMV and see if they can assist.

I found a receipt in my glove box,with a believe the last owners name,and where he lived at some time. I tried to reach out to them but with no luck. I do have the original build sheet but thats not much help.

Look up real estate assessment data and see who owned the house back then. This is public information.

Not just CA, every state has privacy protection laws (mostly after 9-11) and tracking prior owner info is next to impossible, the state DMVs won't do it.

There used to be a person that did it under the business name of "Auto Ancestry" but it got so difficult, even he could no longer to it.
