MCGS Welcomes to our Monthly Meeting
"The Tax Man Cometh" with Larry W. Thomas Thursday, March 27, 2025 6:00pm CST via Zoom! Do not overlook the wealth of information found in the tax records. As Daniel Defoe is credited for saying in a book in 1726, "Things as certain as death and taxes…," we simply cannot avoid them. Up until the early 1900s, people were taxed on their land and other possessions and these can help in the research of your ancestors. Larry Thomas will help us examine several sets of records from around the U.S. and see what we can learn from them
Larry is a professional genealogist with over 30 years of experience, beginning his genealogy research with his own Thomas Family who were Georgia residents since the 1750s. Then he added the rest of his and his late wife’s families before beginning to research for clients in 2008. He is a retired US Army Captain with 23 years in the field of Aviation, Transportation & Logistics..He is a graduate of ProGen 38 and member of the National Genealogical Society, Association of Professional Genealogists, Genealogy Speakers Guild, and Gwinnett Historical Society. He has served on the Board of the Georgia Genealogical Society, and is a past president of the Cobb County Genealogy Society. He operates www.AtlantaGenealogy.com. |
