Genealogical citation is not always uniform. Elements include name of the person who created the document, date of the records, form used (county deed book, microfilm, etc.) and where the document can be found. Remember Undocumented genealogy is mythology! Document everything you find on your ancestors.
Primary evidence is personal testimony or a record created shortly after an event by a person with personal knowledge of the facts. Secondary evidence is copies or compiled from other sources written from memory long after the event has occurred.
Direct evidence speaks to the point in question. Indirect evidence gives facts from which you can come to a conclusion.

We are indebted to Lee County Genealogy Society (FL) for a large majority of the "Facts" available on this page. Their list originally contained just over 490 facts. We have reduced that number for our site but will add some as we continue to build our new website.
