RELIABLE genealogical conclusions depend on reliable data. Central to any good investigation is an appreciation of where the data came from, so that other investigators can re-examine it and re-establish the conclusions reached. Genealogy is little more than anecdote when the sources for facts are not cited and where clear references to sources are not given.Referencing for Genealogists will enable others to follow in your footsteps because it gives you the means to write clear, unambiguous references that provide solid support to the evidence you offer towards your conclusions. It is packed with examples that the reader can learn from and that also provide a treasure trove of sources invaluable to any genealogist.
An excellent resource for amateur and professional genealogists in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc. The book builds on the University of Strathclyde's own referencing style for genealogy (available online for free), so I would suggest consulting that first.
