Genealogical evidence is the information that allows us to identify an
individual, and event in his or her life, or the relationship between
individuals. In such a process, we often hear of 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.
