Should I add a Legacy NFS source ??

I found this in the sources. Should I click add.

I did read an article on what a Legacy NFS so please don't say well read up on it. I did. I still don't understand it. I think what it means is that a record has come from an old DB and been migrated to this one. I think. ??

So if all the information listed matches should I add it?

Thanks.

If you look carefully at this, you will see that this source which was derived from the sourcing system of New Family Search, the immediate predecessor of of Family Tree, does not actually contain any source information at all. That "individual or family possessions" was just a generic tag.

This type of migrated non-source is useless and you can just detach such from individuals in Family Tree. The information you see in it is a copy of the vital information that was on the person in the database, not from any source, that is why it matches.

@ColinM0288, you've misunderstood what you're seeing. That source is already attached, and has been for a decade. That "+ADD" button is just for adding a sort-by date to it.
