Evaluate the Information You Find[edit | edit source]
As you are searching for your ancestors from Denmark, carefully evaluate whether the information you find is complete and accurate. Ask yourself these questions:
• Who provided the information? Did that person witness the event?
• Was the information recorded near the time of the event, or later?
• Is the information consistent and logical?
• Does the new information verify the information found in other existing sources? Does it differ from information in other sources?
• Does it suggest other places, time periods, or records to search?
