Thus the cited sources only show what the author drew from, and are not guaranteed to have a reader conclude the same.<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-56044138628205858352015-03-28T11:27:40.715-07:002015-03-28T11:27:40.715-07:00The rule book for doing proper genealogy research ...The rule book for doing proper genealogy research is exceedingly simple. It follows the same pattern given for translation of records. I will quote and then paraphrase, to achieve greater clarity. [7 Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me. 8 But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right. 9 But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought that shall cause you to forget the thing which is wrong; therefore, you cannot write that which is sacred save it be given you from me.10 Now, if you had known this you could have translated; nevertheless, it is not expedient that you should translate now.]<br /><br />Basic Rule #1 THE RULE BOOK<br />Facts and sources are not an option; they are the very essential elements from which further actions can be prayerfully developed, to complete and extend the known evidences. To study and evaluate information out in one's mind, in an orderly, line upon line, structurally creative process, justification must be assured in references that can be restudied by any other reasonable person. Other researchers must be given information that can reduplicate the mental process and arrive at the same conclusion as the original author and researcher. if it is right, it will be mentally satisfying to professional genealogists and feel good. But if the evidence is not provided, it will seem questionable and doubts will arise in the mind, causing a sense of confusion; a stupor. To remove this feeling of doubt and unease, the scholarly mind is compelled to seek for confirmation, by additional research as deemed necessary, to replace the doubt with substantiating facts, or to remove and eliminate all questionable connections made by the original author.Thomas Milton Tinney Srhttp://academic-genealogy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-58913689949115751012015-03-28T08:16:08.336-07:002015-03-28T08:16:08.336-07:00First rule of genealogy
