This back issue of the Genealogy Bulletin features a major article on locating the five major rules for the successful genealogist. The rules detailed in the article are:

• Treat the brothers and sisters of your ancestors as equals.
• Never accept just one document or just one source to prove something.
• Never trust a published family history or genealogical compilation.
• Never trust secondary sources.
• Prepare your genealogy so others can read it.

Another major column in this issue, still of relevance today, is Donna Potter Phillips’ article on “Things to Know,” as well as 1000 queries placed by subscribers. Leland K. Meitzler includes an article on using eBay to locate genealogy artifacts, while Dollarhide includes an article on WWI Draft Registrations.
