Rob:

The "verified" designation would refer specifically to the source you've
cited.  If that's a published book, the designation means you've seen the
book yourself (as opposed to having copied someone else's transcription) and
properly recorded the information--not necessarily that it's true.  If the
book should then happen to cite a baptismal record, for example, and you
follow through and find that record (which you should if at all possible),
then you can either replace the book citation or add another referring to
the baptismal record, which would then also be designated "verified."

Would a published book be "verifiable"? I can verify that what I have
entered and what the book says is the same. But I can't necessarily verify
that the book is correct.

Thanks!
