Are you underutilizing Tax Records?
Tax records offer genealogists a treasure trove of information beyond just confirming where ancestors lived. They reveal financial circumstances, family relationships, and even marriage dates. They provide us with associates, lifestyles, and community. 

Tax Records are a key resource to leaping over that Brickwall.

Heather Jenkins, president of the Johnson County Genealogical Society and Heartland Chapter of APG, specializes in tax record research. 

She shares with the Hittin' the Bricks with Kathleen Team, about obscure laws that shaped your ancestor's decisions.

• Tax records connect to all aspects of life including birth, death, marriage, and property ownership
•  Examining tax records can reveal an ancestor's true financial status, often showing apparent wealth hiding significant debt
