WikiTree Sourcer 2.7.2

by

Last week, WikiTree Sourcer 2.7.2 was released, and with the release comes several updates and additions to the browser extension for Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. It’s a clever and useful browser extension that helps you find, extract data, and cite sources from other website while you are browsing a WikiTree profile page.

This update adds support for draggable lists for the search option, and improves working with Ancestry.com, FindMyPast, FamilySearch, GRO, and Open Archives (NL).

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.
