Anthony J. Camp

Anthony John Camp MBE (born November 1937) is a British genealogist and former director of the Society of Genealogists.[1] He was awarded a BA with honors in Ancient and Medieval History from University College London.[2]

Camp has described genealogy as "a very exact science that makes a clear distinction between the facts that have been proved and those that have not", claiming that the distinction between the two can be confirmed by "one's expertise and knowledge of sources".[2]
