The comments about online genealogical resources and family trees also
apply to print sources. None is perfect, and some are horrible. The ones
without citations to source material always put me on my guard. It
usually takes experience and an accumulation of knowledge to learn which
print or online sources to trust and how much and also which to dismiss.
 
No published work, regardless of the format in which it is published, is
better than its compiler.
