The Importance of Sources

It can be so easy to get carried away when you find that new snippet of information. So many times I have slotted in a new piece with great excitement only to come back to it months later wondering about its reliability. I used to never put down my source, not realising how forgetful I am. It was a hard lesson learned, I had to remove some data from my tree as I could not be sure of its accuracy. No matter how much I rack my brain I can only very rarely remember where I got a document.
When you get something new get into the habit of putting the source in as well straight away. It will save you heartache in the future.
