((USER-ENTERED DATA HAS TO BE VERIFIED BY RECORDS OR PUBLISHED SOURCES.)) Relying on Ancestry & GEDCOM-brand software downloads led to 7 different versions of vitals for Letton in 1 entry.
There are 2 types of verification:
1. primary sources - contemporaneous records (birth, death...)
2. published secondary sources (histories, genealogies) or online secondary sources that include footnotes to primary sources and published secondary sources
GEDCOM is software, not a source. Saying it's a reason something's correct is exactly like saying something's correct because of MICROSOFT WORD.

IF YOU CAN VERIFY ANY OF THIS INFO WITH RECORDS OR PUBLISHED SOURCES, PLEASE ATTACH THE INFO AND ADD NOTES HERE.
Family Search now makes summaries of our work available worldwide through Google. And unlike Ancestry, every change you make in FS changes the trees of everyone who descends from the person. People count on us to be accurate.
These 3 simple best practices are key:
1. VERIFY all user-entered data with a record or published (or footnoted) source.
2. REVIEW sketches & sources before changing entries.
3. ATTACH your source for every change you make.
