Thanks so much! Just trying to fix Edith Head's page, as it had no verifications about her parents' marriage. Since I have ancestry.com, I checked the censuses and sure enough, found her parents were married, the year of marriage, and their years of birth. Looks like there's a technical error about references I can't seem to figure out, though. About to give up. Sassenach1968 (talk) 03:13, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't ancestry.com user-generated? Like, isn't it so anyone can upload anything genealogy-related on there? I ask because you're not supposed to use user-generated content for a source.
