As we gain experience in researching, we learn how to find reliable resources over some that are unreliable. There are record sets out there that were created with such excellent standards that we follow them without question. But it is important that we always question our sources, because even the best of them is not infallible. For this podcast, I’m using a case study from researching my French-Canadian ancestors, but the same issues and concerns apply to any sources that we use.
