I have been doing genealogy for 50 years. I think it is very important that we all try to get factual information. It is very hard, especially in families that go back many generations when they used the same name over and over and no middle name. My personal rule is that I do not accept something as a fact unless I have 4 different sources that tell me the same thing.
