"In this world nothing
can be said to be certain,
except death and taxes." --Benjamin Franklin |
|
Tax records are important
to genealogists. There are several tyypes of taxes: poll
taxes, a tax on all free white males in a community, and
property taxes. Taxes on property include both real and
personal taxes. Tax records are important, particularly
in the absence of census records, because they verify that
a person was in a particular place at a particular time.
Once a person appears on the tax records, he should appear
on the records year after year until he dies or until he
moves.
