" The definitive guide for how to cite every conceivable kind of source a historian might use, from traditional archival materials to digital media to the most arcane sources imaginable. "
John B. BolesWilliam P. Hobby Professor of History, Rice University
" Twenty-first century technology confronts historians and students with a bewildering proliferation of information some of it accurate and too much of it dubious. In Evidence Explained, Mills demonstrates how to separate the wheat from the chaff and how to report one's sources and achievements. This encyclopedic guidebook is an invaluable resource for historians, students and editors alike. "
Jon KuklaAuthor of Mr. Jefferson's Women
" Historians will welcome the publication of this detailed guide to citations. Even avid users of The Chicago Manual of Style regularly encounter sources for which that handbook gives no guidance. Now we can turn to Elizabeth Shown Mills's comprehensive work. "
Journal of Southern History" A key resource guide for scholars and serious researchers who must rely upon and understand historical evidence. Highly recommended. "
R.V. Labaree, Choice" This is an essential resource for family historians; highly recommended for all libraries. "
Library Journal" In standardizing a family history style, Mills has advanced the discipline. She has given researchers, writers, editors, and publishers invaluable new tools to bring quality and consistency to their work and distinction to the field. "
National Genealogical Society Quarterly" Meant not only as a style guide for the types of source citations used by historians and genealogists, this book also discusses why analysis of information within the total context of a source is imperative to understanding the nature of a fact. Citations not only tell where the source was found, but also can indicate a level of confidence to knowledgeable researchers. "
Association of Professional Genealogists QuarterlyElizabeth Shown Mills is an award-winning historical writer with decades of research experience in public and private records of many Western nations. Published widely by academic and popular presses, Mills edited a national scholarly journal for 16 years, taught for 13 years at a National Archives-based institute on archival records and, for 30 years, headed a university-based program in advanced research methodology. Mills knows records, loves records, and regularly shares her expertise in them with audiences across three continents.
DNA Matrix
You have your DNA match results, now what? Try the new DNA Matrix to show how DNA ties in the members of your family. Using a simple Descendant chart, the DNA Matrix shows how much DNA (centiMorgans) is shared between all the members of your family who have been tested, and will highlight any NPE (Non Paternal Events), or incorrect relationships. The DNA Matrix is the clearest and simplest way to visualize DNA test results.
DNA Simulation
The DNA Simulation is a unique way to solve the mystery of how an adoptee or orphan fits in a family. Combine a known family tree, and an outside person who shares DNA with members of this family. The DNA Simulation will find all possible ways and places that the adoptee can be linked to the family. The results will be summarized in charts that can be examined for further investigation. The DNA Simulation performs in seconds what could take days to do by hand. It can also be used to connect two separate family trees. The DNA Simulation helps you discover the story of your family.
DNA Matches
What about all the DNA matches that are not part of your family tree, but are connected to you in unknown ways, because you share DNA? There can be hundreds of strangers you will need to contact. The DNA Match list is a spreadsheet that helps you prioritize and group these potential cousins into branches of the family. This is a valuable tool to organize and focus your research.
There are two types of matches:
1. Both members of the match are in your family tree. Their common DNA is displayed in the DNA Matrix chart.
2. One side of the match is in your family tree, but the other person's link is unknown. It could be a distant cousin whose common ancestor you have not identified yet.

Reviews
"All in all, this is one of the very best and organized ways to write and publish a family history book. Rebecca Shamblin has done all the heavy work of actually creating the book in a skillful and complete way. It isn't an easy "just press this button" task, but if you want to publish this type of book, then this is a fantastic guide. I always say 'listen to the voice of experience when you tackle a difficult task.'"
- Randall J. Seaver, Genea-Musings
"My long time readers know I'm not one to gush over the latest and greatest. I take a more middle of the road approach, looking for the pros and cons. Seriously, I cannot find one con in this book. I can't even come up with a suggestion for improvement. This is a must read book if you are considering publishing a family history or genealogy book. ... I strongly recommend that you purchase this book even if you aren't ready to embark on creating a book. There are so many helpful technology tips - short cuts, how to, and step by step directions that it will benefit you in other computerized tasks you need to accomplish."
~ GenealogyAtHeart.com
"Rebecca offers a wealth of information about creating family history books by providing detailed insights into her own creative book projects and the tools she used to get the job done!"
- Stefan Harms, founder of Family Book Creator
