Let me think . . . where do you work? Yes, I am already in agreement with you . . . have checked out on-line which of the books are at my local library and will be checking them out. I have Evidence, but haven't spent any time with it. Soon . . . Thanks for the response.

I have read several on the list and would guess that as long as you have been doing genealogy a lot of the information wouldn't be new to you. Most of them have some very good tips but I didn't buy any of them. I haven't read every one of them but I believe I have at least browsed them. My favorite choice from this list is the Evidence! Citation and Analysis. Least favorite Genealogy for Dummies. Of course this is my personal opinion.
