Hi, I have recently received a well documented and researched GEDCOM family tree, complete with source citations. I want to merge it in my own family tree, but have some doubts on how to deal to some of its own sources. I can think of two ways: (1) Source all the information as "Family Tree XXX by nn", with his own sources moved to the notes section. (2) Source the information according to the level it can be independently verified: For example, a Census record is verifiable, thus I can keep the original source, disregarding the fact it came from a third party family tree. On the other hand, an email or an oral testimony to my friend is not verifiable (unless I have a copy of it), in which case I could source the data as "Family Tree XXX by nn" with the rest of the information detail in the notes. What are our preferred methods to deal with situations like this? I will appreciate your comments on this matter. Thanks, -- Yaacov Slizak, Ennis, Ireland "Yaacov Slizak" <yslizak@yahoo.com>
