Citation & Analysis For The Family Historian
Elizabeth Shown Mills
Hardbound    volume  totaling
124
pages. Book  is in new condition. Just what you need  for genealogy research. Per the publisher;
Elizabeth Shown Mills' stunning      book,
Evidence!
, provides the family history researcher with a      reliable standard for both the correct form of source citation and the sound      analysis of evidence. In successful genealogical research, these two      practices are inseparable, and the author's treatment of this      little-understood concept is nothing short of brilliant.
This dual-track theme is introduced early on, and is best      summed up in a few choice paragraphs from the introduction: "Successful      research--research that yields correct information with a minimum of wasted      time and funds--depends upon
a sound analysis of evidence.
Source      citation is fundamental, but it is not enough. The validity of any piece of      evidence cannot be analyzed if its source is unknown. Citing a worthless      source is an effort that produces worthless results.
"Research, evidence, citation, and analysis are      inseparable. Evidence is the vehicle that moves our research from curiosity      to reality. Citation and analysis are the twin highways that get us there,      smoothly and safely.
"
Evidence!
tries to strip away much of the      confusion that researchers experience in this adventure. It offers a road      map for beginners, who hope to avoid mistakes, and guideposts for the      advanced, who already appreciate the need to map their own course precisely.      . . .
