Hi Gaston,
This is what Deborah edited:
https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Rousseau-47&diff=57421189&oldid=57420844
There was a "<" missing on the next to last line.
Thanks so much. Poor eyes I suppose!
You're welcome Gaston.

Look through your ref tags for mistakes, such as inserting a space, or not inserting an apostrophe around a name. Every<ref> must have a </ref>. In this case you missed out the < in a </ref>, I have fixed it.

And, to do the 'look' ... Ctrl F (to start a search) and enter ref and then dlick the down arrow to go through the Bio ... yeah, I'm a computer geek!!! lol
I use Ctl F a lot with the Data Doctor challenges!
I'm back to school...! Thanks to you geek!!!
DOH!, Bob! I use CTRL+F all the time to search other web sites for names and places. I never thought of using it in WT to find those pesky missing/erroneous ref tags! Thanks for pointing out my shortcomings!
