History should be discovered, not guessed.
We look for published records and historical clues about people in the family tree, but finding something online does not make it family truth. Every useful claim keeps its source, its confidence and any disagreement attached.
Memory, evidence and conclusion are different things.
A relative’s recollection can be precious without being treated as a document. A newspaper article can be useful without silently overriding the family tree. Where records disagree, the disagreement stays visible until the family can investigate it.
Keep the source
Every online finding should link back to where it came from so future relatives can inspect it themselves.
Show uncertainty
Possible matches and conflicting accounts become questions, not quiet changes to someone’s identity or parentage.
Protect living relatives
Detailed research about living people stays private by default until the person or an approved family steward reviews what should be public.
