Sourcing on FamilySearch Family Tree
Why?
By Cathy Pearce Anderegg – May 2014
![Page 3: Please, Just the Facts, Ma’am](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062303/56816554550346895dd7d1f3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
#1. First Presidency Temple Policy
Message "Because of the sacred nature of this work, members should be diligent in assuring the accuracy of all information submitted for ordinance work." (Letter dated 16 June 1995 and signed by the First Presidency for all Church members, Ensign, September 1995, page 80) Validating information involves documenting and presenting the information used when submitting a name for ordinances. Submitting many names without research is not adhering to the counsel from the brethren. Please research and accurately identify ancestors before submitting names for temple ordinances.
Be a Star!

#2. The Open Edit Format of
Family Tree Also the Open Edit Format
Demands Sourcing
![Page 5: Please, Just the Facts, Ma’am](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062303/56816554550346895dd7d1f3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is Open Edit Format?
It is where anybody can change anything on Family Tree: namesdates, places, relationships, etc.YIKES!
Checking the CHANGE LOG on a person’s page, allows you toRESTORE data that was changed,
And placing a WATCH on ancestors, alerts you by email thatdata has been changed, BUT …
STOP THIEF!

Adding Sources Greatly Lessens the Chance that
Someone will Change your Data
So How Do We Do Research and Add Sources?
But Is Research a Swear Word? Shhh!
