Genealogy Standards

Genealogy standards are guidelines that help researchers ensure accuracy and reliability in tracing family histories. They focus on methods for collecting, documenting, and sharing information about ancestors, emphasizing thorough research, proper citation of sources, and ethical practices. These standards aim to improve the quality of genealogical work and facilitate collaboration among researchers. By following these guidelines, genealogists can create credible family trees, preserve historical records, and provide clear evidence for their findings, ultimately contributing to the broader understanding of family histories and heritage.
