I have a question about "Family Search" as the username that posts information within trees.
I am doing my own research on my family and I have a question on resources.
I am interested in this person (Antonio Visco).
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/218J-MTR
Most/all of the changes are made by "Family Search".
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/changelog/218J-MTR
From my understanding of the information available, it stops about 1809 (or thereabouts). Thus, I don't understand how specific information in this tree is being placed that occurs prior to this time. For example, Antonio's specific marriage date is given, the DOB of their children is given, etc.
I am excited that this information is available, but none of it includes any information on where it came from. How can I even trust this information as credible if there are no references given?
Thanks to anyone who can help shine a light on this.

Perhaps a descendant visited the town and got access to the parish church records or a family book. Because the sources are all listed as FamilySearch, they may have come from a previous version of FamilySearch called new.familysearch.org . You might try writing to the parish church to verify the information.

Ok, Debbie. Thank you for your response.
What I can do is make sure sources are provided for anything I add. It will help the others who come after me.
