A source is where you obtained the information you've provided on a profile. Sources are critically important for genealogy. Some even say that genealogy without sources is mythology. Even if you're just a casual family historian recording modern family history, you will be helping future genealogists by listing where the information you've added came from. This page describes different kinds of sources: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sources
You can add sources from:
You will need to put the source name and the URL or link to where you found it.
Hope that helps, Dorothy Barry, WikiTree Mentor
