, some Universities conduct courses that demand students to find these details, which may still be available in libraries nearby. For those who want to know more, refer to the concerned government's directory of resources; a copy of which will be available in most museums, can help to obtain
such
 information. Apart from that, in the modern world, the internet is a great source of reference; which consists of websites filled with matching information in abundance. In conclusion, it is a known fact that these particulars are available in plenty.
However
, it is left to the discretion of an individual to refer
such
. Knowing more about the history of a hometown may help a person to understand his or the city's roots and assist in its betterment.
