SPECIAL WEBINAR Tax Rolls: Getting Our Money’s Worth from the Taxes Our Ancestors Paid

Tax Rolls: Getting Our Money’s Worth from the Taxes Our Ancestors Paid presented by Elizabeth Shown Mills, CG, CGL, Friday 26 April 2024, 2pm EDT / 1pm CDT / 12pm MDT/ 11am PDT. Tax rolls have traditionally been used as a “census substitute”—a list of names to show that someone of a certain name was in a certain jurisdiction, in this year or that. But tax rolls can be developed into so much more. This session demonstrates how to use tax rolls to separate same-name people, determine ages of men and date their marriages, establish times of death, identify parents and the maiden identity of wives, track migration, document inheritances when probate records are destroyed, and so much more!
