Book description
Genealogical evidence is the information that allows us to identify
an individual, an event in his or her life, or the relationship
between individuals. In such a process, we often hear or use words
such as evidence, proof, or documentation. Brenda Dougall Merriman
takes readers through the genealogical process of research and
identification, along the way examining how the genealogical community
has developed standards of evidence and documentation, what those
standards are, and how they can be applied. As a supplement to
courses, workshops, and seminars, this book provides both an in-depth
and inexpensive reference, perfect for compiling and checking research notes.
"This book is an excellent practical reference guide to current
genealogical standards and how to apply them to ones own research. It is
highly recommended for a researchers personal collection."
