The Tax Man Cometh!

The day we pay our taxes is quickly creeping up on us. Our ancestors have been paying taxes since Biblical times and before.

Have you used these records? The Cheyenne Genealogical and Historical Society's February meeting will be

a webinar from the Allan County Genealogy Center about using tax records.

It is Using Tax Records in Genealogy Research. Tax records are an important genealogical source that are often neglected

by genealogists. They can contain important clues about relationships and serve as census substitutes.

This class will examine various types of tax records and show how they can help you in your research.

Presented by John Beatty. John D. Beatty, CG, who has been a reference librarian in The Genealogy Center since 1984

and also serves as its principal bibliographer. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree with high honors in

History from the University of Michigan in 1982, and a Master of Arts degree in History and Library

Science with honors from that university in 1984. He became a Board-certified genealogist in 2014.
