Tacoma Pierce County Genealogical Society Monthly Educational Meeting
Tuesday, April 14, 2026, starting at 6:00 pm
This month’s presentation:
Judy G. Russell AKA The Legal Genealogist® will present “Polls, Personalty and Property – Making Sense of Tax Lists”.
Somebody had to pay government’s bills, and they did it through the law by imposing taxes on polls, personal property and real property. The records of those taxes offer some of the best clues available to our ancestors, their families and their neighborhoods.
Judy is a wonderful speaker that you won’t want to miss.
This month’s meeting will be Zoom Only until we can find a new physical location to meet in person.
