First, the most important thing is to source all the data with the most accurate source that can be found.
Second, it's your database, so source it the way that seems most logical to you. It is NOT necessary to track the method that was used to find a given source, if you don't feel comfortable with it. Last, the "experts" may be more knowlegeable about a given subject, but that doesn't mean they are correct.
