Another descendant of my great grandfather has uploaded numerous family photos and other documents on Ancestry, and her family tree and many others identify him with a first name that I consider to be undocumented. (This name is not used in any document she has uploaded, or anywhere else I have ever found.) When writing about him, I am only stating that a family researcher has identified his name as _____ ________ and that numerous Ancestry trees have recorded it as such.
How do I footnote the search of the Ancestry trees and the prevalence of the name?
