Program Description

Even the most routine, mundane records can be a big help when you are searching for clues about an ancestor. Tax rolls are one of the unsung heroes of genealogical research! Unlike the census, tax rolls are usually created every year, and they can contain all kinds of interesting data about a person's possessions and activities. Join Dr. Josh Goodman, manager of the Sarasota County History Center, for a closer look at these important records, including how to use them and where you can find them online or in the original throughout the United States.
