I agree with most of the comments concerning data with no sources listed.
But.....don't discard all of it. There might be a one clue of truth that you
can not find anywhere else. For instance, an important maiden name might
just be right.

A deceased double cousin of mine wrote several articles on our two families.
Most of the more recent family information is correct. When she tried to
go further back in time she did some creative writing. She even mentioned
that one of her teachers thought she had a real talent for writing. And, she
did. But.....she supplied a maiden name that is almost certainly correct and
helps a great deal with the research.

So, just because information is not documented, don't completely ignore it.
