Great question.

The difference between Ancestry, or any other genealogy database management program, is that they are Name driven, while Evidentia is Source Driven. You can start with a Name, or you can start with a Document. It’s a different way of researching, or for me, another Tool in my research toolkit.

Yes, Ancestry.com provides for citing your sources. However, if you have multiple Birth Facts in Ancestry, you have no way to really look at the Birth events / facts in ONE PLACE, nor does it offer you a way to Evaluate what you have.

Evidentia STARTS with Source information, provides for you to evaluated each Claim (Fact) and it’s citations, then offers you a place to document your conclusions.

I am working on a couple of follow up posts now, to explain more.

Please stop by the Evidentia website to see what it can do.

Hope that helps,

Please give it a try. I have been documenting my information, but this application takes my documentation on the next level. Meaning, to really analyze the data that I do have and point out that I might have more work to do.

Thank you and good luck,
