Rambo Family Tree

Cite Your Sources when you share information. If you have no sources, you might as well make up a fiction. I was guilty of neglecting source citations for some time.  If you don't confirm your information with primary sources, you can waste a lot of time and money tracking the wrong people, someone else's ancestors.

What is your response when a correspondent writes, "My information differs from yours. I show a different wife and different children. Where did you get your information?" (It happened to me.)
The sooner you learn to keep track of your sources, the less trouble you will have later.

Every conscientious author, including every genealogist, should ALWAYS CITE SOURCES. When you send me your family group sheets, please tell me how to word the credit to you for your information. (Read my SUGGESTIONS about the content and form of footnotes, endnotes, and attributions.)

Cite Your Sources. Source citations for this website appear in the file ENDNOTES.TXT.(574),, i.e. endnote #574)
