What makes a "Fact" in genealogy. A Fact is a piece of information that you have found at least 3 documents. Yes I said 3 documents.
What is a Source Document in genealogy: Birth record, Baptismal record, Confirmation record, a religious event in which their parents gave the information, School records, a Marriage record. Those are source Documents.

To make the work you do more valuable get your sources, get those documents, at least know where to send others to get the documents too.
