Cheri and the panel Melissa Barker, Bernice Bennett, Dan Earl, Laura Hedgecock, and Shelley Murphy welcome Amie Browser Tennant from The Genealogy Reporter for a discussion on using Poll Taxes and Voter Records to learn more about your ancestors. Bernice shows examples of her ancestors listed in Poll taxes and we discuss how these and Voter Records can be used to add to our ancestor's stories.
Watch as we discuss what Poll Taxes have to do with Voting and where to look for them and Voter Records.
How have you used Poll Taxes and/or Voting Records to learn more about your ancestors?
We'd love to hear from you!
