   Comment/Location: The source note "Family Group Sheets" or "Family Group Record" means the data is "user-submitted data" from a member of the LDS church and thus even if accurate is unsourced second-hand information at best and is a wildly inaccurate guess or conflation portrayed as fact at worst. Those with [Family Group sheets?] or similar notes claim to be transcriptions of original records, but do not state anything about the original records and thus are simiarly suspect, though are more likely to be regularly reliable.
   Comment/Location: Good if from transcribed original documents; untrustworthy if from user-submitted data
