I ordered this book online as I wanted to upgrade my standards for genealogical research. If I'd seen it in a bookstore I probably wouldn't have picked it up, as the hardcover version is $17, which only includes about 60 pages of actual text, the rest of the rather small book being filled with

examples of citations and appendices. As it was published in 1997, it also isn't very up-to-date in discussing referencing online sources - which topic, granted, is almost too young to be covered at all. Show Less

Chock-full of examples, but, like all style guides, a lack of internet citations (though Ms. Mills, a well-known genealogist gives it a bold stab). Good section on why you should cite.

If you only get one reference book about how to record family history, this is it. It's concise and handy as a constant reference.

a family historian or a genealogist hoping to publish their work. Though she gives some examples of citations on a family group sheet or an ancestral chart, much less time is spent discussing how to analyze records. As a beginner just starting to look into my genealogy and not currently planning publication, I need a little more hand-holding than this provided. Others have mentioned the lack of online citation examples - the book was published in 1997 before there were clear standards for online citations, but as I have done primarily online searches, I would find it much more useful to have those clearly explained as well. I will definitely be able to use her examples of cited family group sheets, but I will continue my search for an introduction to analysis of records. Show Less
