So, recently I’ve been knocking through a lot of orphaned profiles. Often, they are from GEDcoms or otherwise are very old or poorly sourced. Some have sources, but they are GEDcom-imported sources that were never cleaned.
However, some have the dreaded “ancestry family trees”, or even a link to a tree that is otherwise defunct or private.
My question is, when do you add an unsourced template? Is it okay to add it to a profile that “has” a source (being a dead link, something closed to the public, something that doesn’t match, “family records”, et cetera)? Should I be bypassing the GEDcom imported Sources if they’re just the string of letters and numbers Ancestry gives? (Someone gave me a good rundown of GEDcom specifically in a weekend chat thread, but I want multiple opinions before I mess with more stuff!)
What do you do here?
