WikiTree Sourcer Extension

The WikiTree Sourcer extension saves time and typing by assisting WikiTree users with three main tasks:

1. From a WikiTree profile page it provides the ability to search other genealogy websites for relevant records.

2. From one of these genealogy websites' records page it can extract data and build a citation.

3. Also from one of these genealogy websites records page it can search other genealogy websites for similar records. For example on an Ancestry page it can help find free versions of the same original source.

The extension is free but donations are welcome at: https://buymeacoffee.com/RobPavey

The extension has very little performance impact unless you are actively using it. It does not modify any web pages and does nothing (other than registering a listener) until it's popup menu is used.

Brenda Lang (ID: 000000929d206758) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/01/2023 Every WikiGenealogist should have this extension. It's a HUGE timesaver and ensures conformity of data entered.

icon

Patrick Graham (ID: 000000361221ca70) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/03/2023 I installed this extension and went a while without using it because I didn't understand how to use it. Once I started playing around with it though I fell in love! It saves so much time, and it really is easy to use. I would advise anyone interested in using WikiTree seriously to invest in a little time installing and learning to use this tool, it will pay off!

Keith Spencer (ID: 000000494de21e2e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/14/2023 Love this extension and I hope everyone will use and check out just how much time this will save time while sourcing each profile

Alicia Taylor (ID: 000000504c824f21) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/10/2023 I would be lost without this! It does a great job searching all the sites and copying the citations accurately.

Kathy Nava (ID: 000000d391f06a9d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/28/2022 This is an amazing app. I LOVE it and can't live without it. It can help you search for sources on multiply sites. It can save you hours by building a household table or list for a census record.
