Could someone look at the sources on Fredrick R. Bazley and tell me what I did that the numbering is off?

I can't actually see what's there but.

== Biography == should be the only thing on the first line and the == should be on the first two spaces of that line.

Then the sentence about born and died should be two lines down (use return/enter)

You have <ref>Insert reference here</ref> somewhere. Delete it.

Then I think you must have URL' s between brackets [   ] so it looks like footnote numbers.

Thanks!
Your welcome. That's much better.
Well done, both of you!

Now, if you want to hide the URL's again type a bracket [ at the beginning of the URL, skip a space, type a description, type another closing bracket ]

I remember how shaky I was when I first started out on Wikitree! Lots of mistakes and a lot of visits to Wikitree Help. But it was worth it. Love Wikitree!

Don't forget the * before each source.

Thank you so much for starting slow and adding proper sources!!! So many people just up load a whole slew of people (I did the same) and come to regret it.

When you get back a generation or two, don't forget to look for matching profiles as you add people and avoid duplicates.

Bravo!!!
