WikiTree Sourcer

If you are looking for an easy way to grab source details from records you find on the various genealogy websites, including those featuring newspapers, you might want to try this extension.

That’s a concluding sentence in a post on Writing my Past by BC blogger, historian, and library technician, Teresa. The post is WikiTree Sourcer now cites from FMP newspaper clippings…

If, like me, you’re not a WikiTree user, you likely won’t know about the WikiTree Sourcer Extension. As explained, it “automatically captures the metadata from record pages on a variety of genealogy-related websites, including the Big Four online repositories and other more specialized ones, like Geneteka. The generated citations are based on Evidence Explained, so even if you find a record at a site not supported by the extension, you can use an earlier one as a template.”

Why not try it?
