It's always exciting when you find a new source for one of your ancestors. But, what's frustrating is when someone finds a source, adds it to the record, but doesn't attach the source. Then, what is in the source record, if there is information on that individual to be updated they don't update the record. It's as if they have a contest with themselves to add as many records to any individual as they can whether they are your ancestor or not.
I guess one would call me fairly anal when it comes to this type of work. If you are adding a source record then do a thorough job and attach it to the individual and then if there is any information that can be added to the record, then add it.
I appreciate the help on my ancestors, but if the job is not done thoroughly then someone needs to come up behind and complete the work, so why even do it in the first place.
I don't like to look a gift horse in the mouth, but our ancestors have been waiting a long time for their work to be done, and it should be done correctly, if not at all. So, if someone is just going to do a half-assed job, then please don't help.
