WikiTree Sourcer update (version 2.2.4)

Question

My last update here about WikiTree Sourcer was for version 1.12.1 back in November. I have released a lot of versions since then and the latest version is 2.2.4. They mostly contains lots of small improvements and bug fixes but here are a few of the more significant additions since then:

• Ancestry Build All Citations
  Build All Citations used to only be available on FamilySearch but is now working on Ancestry.
• New options for Household Tables
  New style options plus options to limit the number of people in a table.
• Support for MyHeritage
• New way to search WikiTree for profiles using a record

Please let me know if you have suggestions for improvements to these features.

Do we need to update it or does it automatically update itself?

Also thank you so much for this! I love it!

It depends on which browser and how you have it configured. Here are some notes I wrote a while back.

Yep it's all updated! Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Hi Rob,

Can we get an option for lists that includes a comma (or other punctuation) between facts? IE name, relationship, age, etc.

Thanks for all your work on this!

Hi Peggy, do you have example profile with a list like that that I could look at? I did experiment with that format but wasn't sure anyone would like it.

I would probably want to put a comma and then multiple spaces (which would get collapsed to one space in read view). The reason is that Ian has a feature in the WikiTable Wizard where you can paste in a list style and it will convert it to the table. But it relies on multiple spaces to spot the field separators.

I also wondered if people would like an option in list mode to exclude some of the fields. E.g. only include name, relationship, age and exclude occupation and birth place.

I second this request. One of my examples: Jude A. Bourgeois

Thank you for the updates!

Answer 2

I have had much luck with the 'search WikiTree'. I have not got it to find these in WikiTree:

The Ancestry one is used on Barker-18612 but it looks like you only added the sources today. So, that is another limitation I should have mentioned - the search relies on the WikiTree Plus indexing that is only run once a week.

I wonder if you have ever looked at the Legacies of British Slavery website which has thousands of records of British people who owned/ financed or where otherwise involved in the slave trade and applied for compensation when the ownership of enslaved people was final abolished.  Their database is here https://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/
