WikiTree Sourcer 2.6.2 – 2.6.5

by

Over the last 3-4 days, there’s been a lot of work done on the WikiTree Sourcer browser Extension, taking it from version 2.6.1 – version 2.6.5. WikiTree Sourcer is an incredibly useful cross-browser extension (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) that helps you with searching other genealogy websites/services for sources and helps to cite them properly.

These updates fixes some issues with Ancestry, FamilySearch, and FindMyPast and improves Archive.org, UK GRO, FamilySearch, FindMyPast, and Scotlands People research

These are the supported genealogical sites:

It is free extension for Chrome and Firefox users (you can donate), but does cost a small fee ($4.99 USD) for Apple (macOS, iOS, iPadOS) users as Apple charges a yearly fee to publish through the App Store.
