Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

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.

One of the best tools out there for wikitree users. This helps me be able to cite my ancestors' and their families wikipages and takes the pain out of it.

Every WikiTree user should have this extension installed! It makes life with WikiTree so much easier and faster. As its name implies, it make adding sources to profile a simple task. Also a tremendous help in locating sources from a large number of genealogy sites. I cannot imagine using WikiTree without it!

Wish I could give more stars. Don't know how I'd function without it. Click of a button citation creation. Creates a table from a census (a picture is worth a thousand word). So many options to bring life to entries, improve the view and enjoyment of WikiTree.

Wikitree Sourcer makes the amateur genealogist look like a professional. It not only finds the web pages where sources are found, it collects all the information in sentence form with full source citations inset by <ref/> tags or in "Table" format for easily recreating a census record. In WikiTree, it will create a complete profile in 2 clicks of the mouse. This is WikiTree's best kept secret. Thank you, Rob Pavey, for this amazing tool!

I constantly use the inline citations, narrative with citation, and household (census) table features. Search FamilySearch is also a favorite. I am probably at least three times as productive with this tool, with the only possible downside that I may be including sources which aren't strictly needed, just because it's so easy. The ability to handle the data formats from a range of web sites and document types is quite impressive. We can always wish for support on even more sites, but I would not want to see that done at the expense of quality, which is currently very good.

This has been working really well, but it doesn't seem to be working for IrishGenealogy.ie anymore. It would be nice if that could be made functional again.

Initial impression is I love it. I'm a person who has been hesitant to use Wikitree as I'm not very good at creating consistent, and proper source citations. This tool is excellent at helping me to overcome this issue and I will now start building out my family tree. An excellent extension!
