Citing sources consistently and meaningfully is the single most important criteria by which a family history is judged and failure to properly document these sources not only completely invalidates many family histories (as they cannot be viewed with confidence) but is quickly recognized by others who are searching for the same ancestors. Without question, my criticisms of genealogical research have focused on the shoddy and haphazard approach that genealogists (including hobbyists) have had to use because there simply have been no standards for doing so. This is something that I've struggled with, over the past twenty years myself - I've used Richard Lackey's now very outdated "Cite your sources: a manual for documenting family histories and genealogical records" (copyright 1980) when I first published my own family history well over a decade ago and have since howled in dismay at the lack of standardization for citing sources in essentially all of the software applications created since then (RootsMagic 4 appears to be the first to address this problem in their latest program). This has caused me considerable grief whenever I've tried to update my own databases.Evidence Explained (second edition - I don't own the first) has done an exceptional job in providing a strong starting ground for the standardization of genealogical citation practices and provides a nearly encyclopedic approach in covering the topic. While genealogical citation practices are still developing, Elizabeth Mills has created an exemplary work on the topic - this book is long, long overdue. Fortunately, she has also addressed one of the most difficult tasks that has developed over the past ten to fifteen years - the need to document electronic sources - and she has done a splendid job.Perhaps my only criticism (so far) is that this book attempts to draw attention away from genealogy by proclaiming that is is focused on citing "history sources" - sure, genealogy should be taken seriously but it should not try to piggyback on other disciplines (such as history and the social sciences); rather, it seek recognition as it's own unique topic worthy of study. I also couldn't help but notice that the bibliography cites references to other widely used citation formats (most notably the Chicago Manual of Style and the Modern Language Association of America) but ignores one of the most widely styles used by those in the social sciences - that of the American Psychological Association. Just the same, this is not a problem but is worthy of note.At the moment, I believe that this book is exemplary and finally provides a rock solid foundation upon which citing sources in genealogical research has desperately needed for so long. At last, genealogists have a valid model upon which to guide the most important component of creating family histories - documenting sources. Anyone compiling a genealogy needs to buy this book NOW, and strive to use it.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.That might be useful to an acquisitions departmentBy KatieI thought this would be the gold standard for citations. I was wrong. It's too complicated and falls well beyond the mark. Her idea for Source List Entries is to duplicate a library's catalog entry. That might be useful to an acquisitions department, but not for anyone else. The reference notes mostly make sense, but the description of the sources is way over the top. It's cumbersome to use, and doesn't measure up to the hype it's been given. Use online sources for MLA, EasyBib or the like. You'll save money.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.Excellent resourceBy Patrick BaumanContains practically every type of source that a genealogist might encounter during research and provides models the reader may follow when putting the rules into practice. The principles and guidance provided by the author will be enough for the reader to determine the details that should be included in source citations for anything not already specifically discussed in the book.Prior to owning this book for example, I had difficulty determining whether the first element of a source citation for, say a census, should be the location, the year, the record type (e.g. Census), the person it pertained to, or some other element. Using this book as a reference will ensure the consistency and completeness demanded by professionals.A quick search of the web will show that this book is one of the most widely recommended works when it comes to source citations, so it seems to be quickly becoming the "standard" by which many are following. This is not a book one would read cover to cover, but rather a reference guide to use when a new source is encountered that must be cited. On a book shelf, you will likely put this book along side your dictionary and thesaurus.The new user should spend some time scanning through the book to become familiar with the record types covered and the general layout. The index provides quick access to the sections needed. It may take a little time to determine which model to use for a particular source since the author provides slightly different models based upon how and where the source being cited was located.However, the reader should not become overly concerned with making a mistake or not following exactly the prescribed format; this is not 7th Grade English class. Citing sources in genealogy is more art than science and therefore, while striving for professionalism, the reader is free to retain some flexibility and creativeness not perhaps enjoyed by other professions. It is unlikely a more robust resource for proper source citation will be found anywhere else. Highly recommended.See all 91 customer reviews...
