Source info... if gotten from Ancestry that is you source... it is a
database.... name the source, name the owner of the site, URL, date last
verified by the site..... While the source isn't the real document it still is
your source.... means you then need to go to their source yourself before you
can accurately state the information is correct... many things can happen in
between... you cannot add Nevada to the true source until you have verified it
for yourself. repeat ...you should also make notes if you are getting your
information from the actual document or a transcription etc... Remember there
can be transmission problems of various sorts between Nevada and Ancestry.
Ancestry is no different than Uncle Bob's data ...it is a clue in your
verification of the data you are looking for....you are the detective and you
must build your case with each clue until you have the actual fact. true if
ancestry states it and you have several other sources which state it then it
becomes fairly certain, unless they all are using the same source and then all
may be wrong. you become the detective and lawyer presenting your case for
that data. You can not just be satisfied with one third party or second party
source .... that is why the software lets you put more than one source for the
data so you can determine the information you put into your tree.
