"FamilySearch" Additions to Individuals

It would be very helpful if when "FamilySearch" adds a fact (date) to your ancestor that they state where the information came from; source their information. I have found numerous additional information added to my ancestors' personal page, from "FamilySearch", and there is no source attached where the information was found. It would be good to know where the information came from.

Thanks!

    Check the dates on those "additions". I predict that they're 2012 -- when the Tree was initially "seeded" with user-submitted data from FamilySearch's previous system(s). Neither submitter identities nor sources were preserved from those precursors of the Tree.
