Absolutely essential for any genealogist!
If you're serious about the research you do on your family's history -- if you're not satisfied with merely collecting names, if you expect to see proof for statements made by other researchers, if you want those who come after you to be able to pick up where you've left off -- then this review can be boiled down a simple statement: Read this book.

Nationalism and the Genealogical Imagination: Oral History and Textual Authority in Tribal Jordan ...

Andrew Shryock
University of California Press
, 1997
New View of History
Andrew Shryock captures the fragmented nature of oral histories among the Bedouin tribes of a Jordanian region known as the Balga. This text, which is actually an ethnography, brings into relief greater concepts of history that are often not obvious. The histories that Andrew collects have never been written, except a few segments in travelogues. This brings to mind questions about the ...
Genealogical Evidence: A Guide to the Standard of Proof Relating to Pedigrees, Ancestry, Heirship and Family ...
5 reviews
Noel C. Stevenson
Aegean Park Press
, 1989
One of the best genealogical books I've read!
I heartily recommend this book to any budding genealogists, and encourage them to read it sooner rather than later. Stevenon's book is a compelling, if a bit dense, challenge to genealogists to be sure that what they claim can be substantiated witha preponderance of evidence. By emphasizing quality over quantity, and with view towards the standards of proof demanded by courts, Stevenson ...

A Labor of Love and Beauty
The New York Times recently ran a glowing front page story on this work, with almost a page more inside. Having received my copy, it is easy to see why. The book is beautifully produced. A sturdy orange and black hardcover protects 263 pages, each 16 inches long by 10 and a half inches high. This is a big book.

Thoroughness is the hallmark of this work. It contains genealogical abstracts from more than 7,000 issues of eighty newspapers printed in Virginia in the 18th century! In addition, where there were gaps in the Virginia papers, newspapers from nearby states were scanned for Virginia material.

Pitfalls in Genealogical Research

Milton Rubincam
Ancestry Publishing
, 1987
Very enjoyable book by one of the "giants" of genealogy.
Its short little chapters take on common errors in genealogical research. Focusing mostly on American research, it does provide a few examples from Britain and Germany. Problems like when is a nephew not a nephew, how can an infant be baptized before it is born, and the problems of fraudulent pedigrees are all addressed. What I like the most about this fun read is the way in which it hammers ...
