The Solano County Genealogical Society will have a virtual Speaker Series presentation on Saturday, February 1, 2025 starting at 11 a.m. Pacific Time.
Our speaker Annette Burke Lyttle's topic is "Tax Records: More Exciting Than You Might Think"
Tax records can help us locate our ancestors in place and time. They can tie our ancestors to land or confirm for us that an ancestor did not own land. They can help us follow ancestral migrations and separate same-named persons. Sometimes they can help us pinpoint a death date or timeframe. Tax records can act as censuses between the censuses. The variety of taxes levied by governments at all levels has left a rich record of our ancestors’ lives and their sometimes-changing fortunes.
