Morgantown: Masthof Press. New. 2000. Trade Paperback. 137 pages. You can learn a lot about a person from his or her possessions -- even the junk. Ask any archeologist or forensic scientist. A midden (trash heap) may hold the answer to an archeologist's prayers, and a garbage bag may yield gold to the trained criminologist. You may well have some of your ancestor's possessions, but it is unlikely that you have many or even that you have something from each of them. While recovery of the physical objects may be an impossibility, you may be able to get the next best thing -- a listing of these possessions. Estate inventories were listings of a deceased person's possessions made at the order of the court charged with settling the estate. Many of these inventories are extant and available to the researcher. Some are long and involved; some are as short as a few lines. They were made of the estates of the wealthy, the not-so-wealthy, and even the relatively poor. Since estate… Read More

Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co. New. 1997. Hardcover. Index. . 124 pages. Our ancestors lived by the maxim when you drink from the water, remember the source. Following that principle, Evidence! Reminds us that the information our forebears left can confuse or deceive us, rather than help us, if we do not know and understand its origins. Clearly and simply, Evidence! Explains genealogical standards for citation and analysis -- then provides over 300 models for citing conventional and online materials common to family history. 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… Read More

Baltimore: Clearfield. New. 2003. Second Edition. Paperback. 0.6 x 8.3 x 5.4 Inches. 316 pages. Unlike a textbook or how-to book, which genealogists should consult prior to venturing upon a research trip, <I>A Field Guide for Genealogists</I>, by Judy Jacobson, is the perfect book to take with you once you have embarked. Consider the following scenarios: (1) You're doing research in a courthouse when you come across a term in a will that you don't understand; (2) You run across an old photograph of people who are supposed to be your ancestors, but you just can't place the subjects of the photo; (3) You find your great-great-great-grandmother's death certificate only to learn that she died from a disease you'd never heard of. The latest title from the prolific Mrs. Jacobson is designed to remove not only the foregoing stumbling blocks but also to answer thousands of other practical questions which quite naturally arise during the course of research.… Read More
