Quick Family Search Sourcing

Some of us rely on Family Search sources yet there are many that have not yet been attached to the profiles there. The hints are fairly accurate but should be reviewed carefully.   I have written instructions for as easier way to attach multiple sources on Family Search. You can attach quite a few sources in a very short time without having to search for them. They can then be copied to Wikitree profiles using WT Browser Extension.

This could make it simpler to just copy paste.

At what point in this process do you check for accuracy of the sources for the person being researched?

Profiles on Family Search are very often incorrect, research is always needed before putting any degree of confidence in sources which have been attached by an unknown researcher.

M - I changed the link to the instructions.

And I "assume" that all genealogist check their sources for accuracy. And then use my [self -imposed] rule in all decisions - when in doubt -don't.

It would be helpful if you put at least some directions to click on the PDF icon.  As it is, you go to the Space page and there is nothing there!
