G2G: How to point a FamilySearch profile to the WikiTree profile

Question

Is there an accepted (and hopefully simple) way to add a source or collaboration note to direct a FamilySearch user to the WikiTree profile?  

I thought there was supposed to be something like this in the "FamilySearch Connections" app, but I can't get signed into that app.  I can sign in to FamilySearch, but the app's sign in for WikiTree doesn't seem to work for me. It just comes back to the blue sign in button.

I can use the "Add New Connection" (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:EditFamilySearch) to place the FamilySearch ID on the Research section of the profile, though I can do that directly from the profile anyway, but I don't see a way to update the FamilySearch profile to point to WikiTree.  Thanks!

Hi David. If it's any comfort, not being able to log in to the FamilySearch Matches is a known bug and being worked on. See this link.

Answer 1

To link from a FamilySearch Profile to a WikiTree Profile, you can use a "Note". You can even mark it as 'important' so it shows at the top of the profile. Example here.

Thanks, that's a great idea!  I'm not sure what the "FamilySearch Connections" app does, lol...

Hi! My name is Christine. My Mother's family is from Chile and has ancestors from Spain. I am very interested in their roots. It would be my pleasure to be a part of this great endeavor.
