*Greenwood, Val D. ''The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy'', 3rd edition. Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1990. In particular, see chapter 4.
*Leary, Helen F. M., ed. ''North Carolina Research: Genealogy and Local History''. 2nd edition. Raleigh: North Carolina Genealogical Society, 1996. The first section is applicable to research anywhere. Because of the cost, I recommend this book only for those doing research in southern states.
*Merriman, Brenda. ''Genealogical Standards of Evidence: A Guide for Family Historians''. 3rd edition. Toronto: Ontario Genealogical Society, 2010. Lacks an index.
*Mills, Elizabeth Shown Mills. ''Evidence Explained: Citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace''. Second edition. Baltimore, Maryland: Genealogical Publishing Company, 2009. To learn more about information, read the 26 pages of chapter 1.
*Rose, Christine. ''Genealogical Proof Standard: Building a Solid Case''. 3rd revised edition. San José, California: CR Publications, 2009.
*Rubincam, Milton. ''Pitfalls in Genealogical Research''. Salt Lake City: Ancestry, 1987.
