I have the opportunity to present a look at “The Tax Man Cometh,” to the Muskogee County Genealogical Society (OK).
Do not overlook the wealth of information found in the tax records. As Daniel Defoe is credited for saying in a book in 1726, “Things as certain as death and taxes…,” we simply cannot avoid them. Up until the early 1900s, people were taxed on their land and other possessions and these can help in the research of your ancestors. We will examine several sets of records from around the U. S. and see what we can learn from them.
You would be amazed at what might be found in tax records to help you in your research.
