I prefer her initial issuance of Evidence! But also use EE as a reference for stuff not in E! The human readability of the first is better IMO.

Evidence! Citation and Analysis for the Family Historian is a 121-page book by Elizabeth Shown Mills, first published in 1997. According to Amazon I last ordered it in 2007.

Studying those citation samples do indeed prepare genealogists to cite their sources when making kinship determinations.

Evidence Explained! 4th edition, published January 2024, dives deeper into far more detail throughout its 744 pages.

I often quip that if you dropped this heavy tome(1) on the toes of a newbie genealogist they’d give up at the get-go.

(1) A tome is defined as “a large and scholarly book.”
