Sorry Mark, you didn't like the profile. But you do realize that we can't see the sources you provided?

Margreet, don't worry, I'll get proper sources on here eventually with links etc to free ones where possible. I just used the WikiTree AGC extension (WikiTree Automatic GEDCOM Cleanup) and the Auto Bio extension to clean out the nasty S1, S2, guff that the Ancestry gedcom export adds. Makes it much cleaner and easier to see where refs are linked to in the bio text.
