=== '''''Genealogical Proof Standard''''' === | === '''''Genealogical Proof Standard''''' === | ||
Use the five elements of the [[Genealogical Proof Standard|Genealogical Proof Standard]] as a guide to help improve the quality of your research, evaluation of the evidence, and reasoning: | |||
#A reasonably exhaustive search has been conducted. <br> | |||
#Each statement of fact has a complete and accurate source citation. <br> | |||
#The evidence is reliable, and has been skillfully correlated and interpreted. <br> | |||
#Any contradictory evidence has been resolved. <br> | |||
#The conclusion has been soundly reasoned. | |||
Following this standard will significantly increase the likelihood that your genealogical conclusions reflect what really happened. Any proof statement is subject to re-evaluation when new evidence arises. | |||
