Jeannette Shiel - Using Tax Records in Genealogy (General Meeting)
5:30 pm to 8:00 pm Zoom & Ron H. Roberts Temecula Public Library 30600 Pauba Rd. Temecula, CA 92592
Using Tax Records in Genealogy
Tax records are often overlooked but can provide insight into the details of our ancestors’ lives. Sometimes we just need that one record to help us prove residency, age, or relationships and you might be surprised just how tax records can make those connections. Tax records can also reveal economic clues to community status as well as lead to land to records.
