Just about a week after WikiTree Sourcer 2.60 was released, we now have WikiTree Sourcer 2.61. If you use WikiTree, WikiTree Sourcer is a useful cross-browser extension (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) that helps you with searching other genealogy websites/services for sources, and helps to cite them properly.
This update does not add any new archives/websites to search through, however it provides fixes and improvements for seven different genealogy websites/services.
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.
