Sources make family history reviewable. Not everything needs perfect proof, but key facts deserve context.
Sources and evidence
Add sources to profiles, relationships, and events
Attach files as evidence
Distinguish high, medium, and low certainty
Treating oral memories as official documents without explanation
Attaching files without describing what they prove
Deleting uncertain information instead of marking it as pending

Add title, notes, and enough reference for another person to understand the origin.

Use notes or confidence when evidence is still partial.
Help us keep the documentation accurate. If something is missing, send the context and the section you were using.
Record births, migrations, studies, jobs, celebrations, and other moments with connected people and media.
Create biological, adoptive, foster, partner, and other connections with notes and confidence.
Work with relatives through conversations placed where context exists.
