Cris On you own family research you can use data you find online. It is a good idea to give the source as the website and url and date when you found the piece of information. It may be gone in six months. If you find a photo you can credit the website and mention the photo is owned by John Doe. If someone shares a photo with you you can use them as the source. One of the main reasons for giving a source is so someone else can verify your facts by finding the information you found. Genealogists should always try to get as close to the original source as they can. Sometimes you find errors in transcribing when you see the original. I found one of my ancestors only after I got a copy of the original marriage records. He was listed as Flinn, Thomas in the index. I ignored it initially. When I got it to see for myself if was Finn. I could see how the fancy script Fi had become Fli.
