I started doing my genealogy in 1991 after the death of my grandfather and have gathered a lot of information of the years, I am not very good at sources so I am eager to learn how to source my information. I do think it is one of the most important parts of forming a proper tree but I have never really learned how to do proper sourcing, so if I make mistakes please know that I am open to suggestions.
