Hi Deb:

I think I might have gotten it pretty close to what we need. But I have trouble with the citations. If you could look at them for me and tell me what I should be doing I will appreciate it.

There's a new browser plug-in that I'm really enjoying, it's called Sourcer. It will automate finding sources; and then pasting them in. You can create a whole profile in some cases, just by using this tool, because it will create a "narrative" telling the person's story. See the video at: https://youtu.be/_JssleDA5GQ and the explanation at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:WikiTree_Sourcer . I use this in Microsoft Edge, but it also works in Google Chrome and Firefox, Safari, etc. Once you start using it you'll be quite happy with it, I think. I've added the in-line citations for 1841-1861 censuses for her, so you can see what they look like. Feel free to do the rest. I've used the free site at https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L23M-RWN so that your cousins will be able to access them if they don't have subscription plans.

I've also resequenced her profile in date order.

Cheers, Deb
