Most people understand that anything before the mid 1800’s may not have a source to the data.
I would enter the data, it just may lead to other information and in my case has. My starting point was my Great Great Great Grandfather born in Ireland abt 1735-48. Then his 2 or more wife’s produced 17 children that we know of. Yes, we have land records from SC and he is also mentioned in several books in Indiana. We have no birth records of any of these children, but the next generations do appear in a few Bibles.

I do not have all the stories I would like to have for my direct family and I don't go back to the British Isles. As I am doing research often I come across a distant relative, am able to add to their tree. I would like your thoughts on should I continue to add to this. I am sure of these sources and they date before 1775. I also have an agricultural survey, it is of some interest to me and is included for someone look up if they wish. My daughters are not deeply interested in genealogy nor are my cousins. Should I take the time to determine how many sheep, goats, land, etc these ancestors had in 1860?
