Event Education - You Can't Avoid Taxes . . . At Least Not in Genealogy!

You Can’t Avoid Taxes…At Least Not in Genealogy!

By James Long

Tax records are a rich but often under-utilized source of genealogical information. From poll taxes to real estate taxes to luxury taxes and even dog taxes, few of our ancestors have successfully evaded the tax system, and we can use that to our advantage in our research. This session will explore the types of taxes levied on our ancestors, where to find Tennessee’s tax records, and how tax information can solve genealogical problems when no other record can.
