About this title

Synopsis

This book is a classic in genealogical literature. Filled with abundant legal citations and case histories, the text provides a wealth of valuable information concerning genealogical matters, including legitimacy, illegitimacy, marriage, birth, death, age, and identity. Also included are suggestions regarding locating critical facts and examples of those types of evidence necessary to prove or disprove matters which concern pedigree, heirship, inheritance, and will contests. In her column "Kinsearching," Marleta Childs says, "Genealogical Evidence is a must for every genealogical collection." It is an invaluable aid for genealogists, librarians, record searchers, historians, biographers, and lawyers.
