Hi WikiTreers,
Our friend Justin York has added something to his RootsSearch program so that it works especially well with WikiTree.
RootsSearch makes it easy for you to search for the same person on multiple genealogy websites. For example:
https://apps.wikitree.com/apps/york1423/rootssearch/?profile=Whitten-692
Justin set this up so that using the WikiTree ID in a URL like the one above saves you from having to enter the person's info manually.
To test it, copy and paste the URL above into your browser (without clicking Enter) and put your own WikiTree ID or anyone else's in place of Whitten-692 (then click Enter). Then click some of the buttons at the bottom of the RootsSearch page, e.g. for FamilySearch, Find a Grave, etc.
What do you think of this?
If you think it would be valuable, we could put a link from all profiles that takes you directly to their RootsSearch page. It could go in the pull-down menu, perhaps as "Search Other Sites," and/or we could replace the "Research" section in the lower-right column of profiles.
Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
Chris
