Thank you Tommy for pointing out the difference between an acceptable source and the validity of said source.
Copied from Kitty Smith's comment above:
Here are examples of source citations that would be sufficiently specific:
- "Find-A-Grave Memorial #1234"
- "FamilySearch profile ABCD-123"
- "Unsourced family tree handed down to X"
- "Family Bible owned by X currently in the possession of Y"
The only way one can make sure the above source citations are valid, is to do more research. It is not difficult.
We must not allow Our Tree become infected with invalid sources. We cannot allow relationship changes without valid cited sources.
I urge everyone to check your Family Activity Feed if not daily, at least weekly to catch changes made to profiles one manages. Don't allow your hard work to go down the drain and become a conflated profile. Be firm but nice about it. We all strive for accuracy.
