A book which you may try to borrow on interlibrary loan is one by Patricia Law Hatcher, Certified Genealogist. Title: Producing a Quality Genealogy I believe it costs about $19.95. For some details about this book, use the search engine www.google.com Type in quotation marks Patricia Law Hatcher. About the fourth entry down is some information about her book. (I have had some classes instructed by her--she's a perfectionist but knows computers.) One does not get to be a certified genealogist and invited to lecture at national conferences unless one knows genealogy. Just a suggestion. You may find a more up-to-date book on the subject, but I doubt it! E.W.Wallace
