Genealogy as pastime and profession / Donald Lines Jacobus ; with an introduction by Milton Rubincam.
Under the leadership of Donald Lines Jacobus (1887-1970), serious genealogical research in the United States may be said to have ocme of age. Written in a clear and graceful style, this classic work describes the principles of genealogical research, the evaluation of evidence, and the relationship of genealogy to chronology, ancestry, the use of source material, and the methods of compiling a family history. It is, in short, the very foundation of scientific American genealogy - a manifesto of methods, aims, and principles.
