how do you confirm info is correct

Question 1

Question 2

Anything reported as a fact should have a source listed. If it does not have a source, I don't trust it; if it lists a source that is meaningless such as an unsourced internet familytree, I don't trust it; if it lists a source behind a paywall or a book not available on the web and I really want to know, I check in a library or ask for help in G2G for checking behind the paywall.

Question 3

of course, various sources can also be incorrect (and for various reasons). so its probably best to have more than one source for corroborating facts, if available.
