I tried to copy and paste Source Info from familysearch.org into G2G question and when I right clicked nothing came up?   Do you not allow copy/paste or could it be familysearch doesn't allow copy/paste?

When you right click on familysearch and select all - you get the entire page - headings, footings, logos, Rights and Use etc.  etc. etc. and it often way to long - to copy here as maximum # of characters does not usually fit.  Prefer using: ctrl C- ctrl V and selecting partial text and or source info.

Bill:

Usually copy and paste proceedures using Family Search work well here.  As a test, I'm copying in the "Citing Information" from the bottom of a page I was recently working on.

"Kentucky, Births and Christenings, 1839-1960," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FWNY-RD3 : accessed 15 May 2013), William James Redman, 29 Apr 1901."

We should be able to click this iink (above) to go right to the Family Search record.

Hope this helps,

Keith
