I agree. A family tree is a set of clues, not a source.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] How do I source a "Family Tree" found on
Ancestry.com
I Don't source ancestry, I put an online family tree under notes with
the URL and then I set out to prove or disprove it.

I looked in the archives and see that many people suggest putting
Ancestry.com as a repository and the collections found on Ancestry (such
as
WWI Draft Registrations, etc) as the source.
But what about something less straight forward, like the "family tree" I
found on Ancestry?
How would I source this? No author is listed, nor contact information, it
is simply a short list of related people under the title "Smith Family
Tree".
In the "Add a New Source", Source Writer's family tree and family group
sheet options do not offer me a choice of medium other than "Online
Images"
and "Privately Held". Since the list is not really what would be
considered
an online image (such as a census page image would be) and the list is not
privately held, how would I source this list of related persons that
Ancestry calls a "family tree"?
Any ideas?
