One of genealogy's finest has announced the availability of the 4th Edition of her popular book, Genealogical Proof Standard: Building a Solid Case. While I have not yet personally reviewed the new revised edition, if it is anything like the previous editions, this is a must-have book for your genealogy library. Here's what it's about:
The Genealogical Proof Standard is the standard set by the genealogical field to build a solid case, especially when there is no direct evidence providing an answer, or when there are conflicts in the evidence. This easy-to-read guide clearly sets forth the elements of this standard, and how to apply it to resolve genealogical problems. It leaves the reader with a good understanding of the five points of the GPS as distinguished from the three step classification process for evidence analysis. Many examples included.
Paperback: 72 pages, 8.5" x 5.5", illustrated, published 2014.
