Many genealogies of members of the Church have been handed down for several generations. Some of these genealogies, family stories, and life sketches were compiled from oral histories and can contain many errors among true information. If you are the recipient of one of these genealogies, it is suggested to [[Document AS YOU GO!|document this information]]. [[Family group record: roadmap for researchers|Family group records]] should have [[Cite Your Sources (Source Footnotes)|sources]] supporting the information on it.
