| bgcolor="#66ffff" | It is usually wise to select and search several records that could provide the answer to your research objective. | |||
* The first record you select and search may not provide the information you seek.<br> * Different genealogical sources often provide conflicting evidence of events or relationships. To resolve these discrepancies, it is necessary to locate more than one piece of evidence in support of any genealogical fact. In fact, the more pieces of acceptable evidence found, the more sure you can be of the fact. Where possible, strive to find multiple sources for every fact. | |||
However, in doing this you may find discrepancies. For example, the sources may not agree on Uncle Harry’s birth date. You will then need to evaluate the information you find as explained in Step 5. <br> | |||
