What I DID intend to say is that what you have seen for yourself and what you have used (possibly only someone else's research) should be noted as your source--what you have used as evidence of the name, date, or place in your tree is YOUR source--whether you have viewed an original record or accepted that one exists from another researcher's files -- your source is what you used/checked for yourself.
