Where can I find the "Save Person Data" in Ancestry.com?

Question

I would like to be able to add people from my many Ancestry.com files to Wikitree using the Wikitree Sourcer, but cannot find a "Save Person Data" option in the current Ancestry.com task bar or anywhere else.  Does anyone know how to find that option?  It would save me much time and accuracy if I could use it.

Answer 1

"Save Person Data" is a menu item on the WikiTree Sourcer popup menu. First you have to have the WikiTree Sourcer browser extension installed in your browser. Then, an icon that looks like: [1] will show up in your browser URL bar (where it shows depends on which browser you are using). For Chrome and Firefox you have to "pin" the extension to make it always show up in the browser URL bar. When you click on the [1] icon a popup menu comes up. If you are on the "Facts" tab of an Ancestry profile page like this, then "Save Person Data" will be on the menu.

It is explained in the user manual page that Murray linked to.

There is also an intro to WikiTree Sourcer video on YouTube that explains how to use it. The discussion of adding profiles starts at time 10:40.

Thank you so much for answering my question.  The links were invaluable to me.  This will save me so much time and aggravation.  I appreciate you taking the time for me, Rob.  Thanks also to Murray.  You were right.  I had installed and pinned the extension but hadn't understood the whole process.

Does it work using a phone too?

The Safari version works on iPhone (and iPad)

Several people use it on Android tablets using the Kiwi browser. I don't know about Android phones.

I think that you may be talking about a feature of WikiTree Sourcer.
