This is a very concise useful book for figuring out what to cite, and how to do it. Part one has explanations of Citation and Analysis, part two are examples for various types of resources encountered doing genealogical research. The forms are based on the Chicago manual of style with modifications for the types of resources Genealogists encounter.

Elizabeth Shown Mills is an authority in Genealogical writing and research.

Reading Jones's Mastering Genealogical Proof took some of the stuffing out of this book. Jones's book was much more recently released.

Unfortunately this book is dated, and it doesn't cover what is probably the most used source today -- the internet. In particular, there are no examples or discussions about how to cite to a Federal Census that was obtained via Ancestry.com or FamilySearch.com.
