Not even church books and other old documents are always correct. It is good practice to try find several sources to confirm the correctness of the data. Do not hesitate to ask your project or in G2G if you have a source you can't find on these lists.

Reliable With Conditions
- Find A Grave, Billiongraves, Geneanet and Genealogical Society of Finland graves database would be deemed reliable only when a picture of the headstone is provided. Remember that even grave markers can have errors in name spelling and dates.
- Wikipedia, Adelsvapen and other Wiki's, including WikiTree are only as reliable as the sources they cite.
Unreliable Sources
- User generated online trees like Geni, MyHeritage, Ancestry, FamilySearch, Rootsweb, Geneanet, etc. These kinds of sites can be used to find details that can lead to reliable sources. Some trees cite sources that can be used for your profiles when you have checked them out. Never use a user generated tree as source.
- A generic familysearch.com or ancestry.com should never be used as source citations. Always cite the specific documents where you found the information.
- Published books, articles and blogs that do not have sources listed.
