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.
