Genealogical Proof—Building A Solid Case

By Christine Rose

The BCG Genealogical Standards Manual

 

Family historians depend upon thousands of people unknown to them. They exchange research with others; copy information from books and databases; and write libraries, societies, and government offices. At times they even hire professionals to do legwork in distant areas and trust strangers to solve important problems. But how can a researcher be assured that he or she is producing or receiving reliable results? This official manual from the Board of Certification for Genealogists provides a standard by which all genealogists can pattern their work.

Genealogical Proof Standard: Building a Solid Case

 

This is the book for the serious genealogy researcher or the beginner.  This will help you to document your research and give you ways to look at what you’ve found that will be tremendous help to you.

Harry Macy Jr., Editor, New York Genealogical and Biographical Record
All... chapters are written in simple, clear language ... All serious genealogists should take the time to read and consider ...

Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian By Elizabeth Shown

With the Internet, it seems so easy to just get on the Web, push a few buttons, and presto you have a fantastic genealogy linked to every famous person in the world. People! This is not so! Just because it is on a genealogy site on the internet does not prove it certain that you are related to that particular person. Proof! You need proof, the more the better. Primary evidence is much more important than your secondary evidence.

This book is an excellent source and guidebook to help you do just that.
