Sourcing

Sourcing is used to support (or challenge) a family tree, to establish family connections, to help "prove" (or disprove) family lineages, and to record where the information came from. Here is a good article that sums things up: Genealogy Without Sources is Mythology!
A primary source is one that was recorded either at the time of the event or shortly afterwards. Although these sources are generally reliable, they can have errors and you will learn how to evaluate the information contained in them, especially when one source contradicts another. Here are examples of original sources where the information gathered from them is generally considered reliable:
  • Birth records.
  • Death records.
  • Marriage records.
  • Family bibles with birth/marriage/death dates.
  • Books that cite primary sources. This would Include books that transcribe birth/marriage/death records as well as authored family histories or trees that cite birth/marriage/death records.
  • Military records.
  • Will and estate records.
  • Court records.
  • Burial records.
  • History books that would have collected information from the subjects themselves.
  • Newspaper articles with the publication name, date, and location.
  • A proof summary of multiple sources of supporting evidence used to draw a reasonable conclusion.
A secondary source is one that is written after the event or period has passed. Secondary sources can still be reliable if they cite primary sources. They can be useful for clues about where to look for primary sources, or for background information to expand the profile's biography (for example, a history book which covers an occupation and what it was like during the time period we are researching).
