The system says that it needs standardized proof of birth or death. I found proof. How do I submit?

I would very much like to submit the evidence that I have saved in my source box for a person who I have family photos of and lots of evidence that she was born, and it is over a hundred years ago, and she is my great grandmother's niece. How do I submit this? Thank you. I googled my question and searched family search and cannot see it. It should be super simple.

Hi Christel.

Are you able to post your evidence in your great grandmothers' niece's birth and/or death in her Sources? That would do very well indeed.

Here are some Articles that may help:

Hopefully some of that information will help you

Where are you reading this? Exactly what does it say? The only thing I have ever seem that seems similar is the data error flag:

or the ordinance page notation:

These just mean that you need to have entered a date and place and that they need to be linked to the proper standardized form so they do not have red exclamation points by them like this:

Nowhere in Family Tree are sources actually required, but the data does need to have a standard applied.

Could you give more information about what you are running into?

Do go ahead and follow the directions given above for all the sources you do have, sounds like great stuff that all her descendants would love to have access to. Although, if they are already in your source box, are you sure they are not already attached to her?
