Evidence Explained Debuts--BCG Announces Contest

The long-anticipated 885-page book, Evidence Explained - Citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace, by Elizabeth Shown Mills, CG, CGL, FASG is making its debut at the FGS conference. This definitive "desktop reference work" is for everyone who studies history and genealogy and has been greatly expanded over the briefcase-sized Evidence! Citation and Analysis for the Family Historian. Over 1,000 models demonstrate how to cite history sources from a dozen Western nations, in all types of media formats, together with discussions of the sources and their quirks.

Elizabeth Mills will do book signings at the conference in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, on Thursday, August 16 at the Board for Certification of Genealogists (BCG) booth (#601) at 9:30 am and at 5:30 pm. The vendor hall is free to enter.

Everyone who purchases an Evidence Explained book from the BCG booth or from www.BCGcertification.org/catalog can enter the contest to win their purchase price back. Guess how many Evidence Explained books will be sold at the BCG booth during the 3 days of the August conference in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. The person with the closest guess will receive a refund. You may buy multiple copies for your friends and society members back home but collect their guesses as well. One guess per book.

The author's signature will appear in the books sold through the BCG website "while supplies last." For those of you looking to support an organization whose mission is genealogical standards, here is your opportunity - including a chance to win a free book!

Contest entry or not, your genealogy will be "a winner" by owning this necessary tool to help in your genealogical pursuits.
