Appendix A: Genealogical Proof Standard

The Genealogical Proof Standard is a set of standards formulated by the Board for

Certification of Genealogists as a method to ensure logical, ethical and accurate

genealogical research by professionals and amateurs alike. Following the Genealogical

Proof Standard will ensure that the hard work of the genealogist is accurate and not a

waste of time. The Genealogical Proof Standard is as follows:

1. The genealogist will conduct a reasonably exhaustive search of the ancestor or

ancestors in question.

2. The genealogist will provide a complete and accurate citation of sources.

3. The genealogist will provide a sound and accurate analysis of the information

found on an individual or a family group.

4. The genealogist will give a resolution to conflicting evidence and if conflicting

evidence is not resolved, then a conclusion is not possible and is reflected in the

concluding report to the customer.

5. The genealogist will provide a customer with a sound, well written conclusion of

all evidence found as well as provide the customer with copies of the evidential

documents found.
