When I click on the source for Myrna E Williams in FAG it brings up the source for her sister.  Am I doing something wrong?  I don't know how to fix this.

I don't know what happened, but, when I clicked on the link I was brought to the search page.  Perhaps it has to do with your search history and/or cookies.  Anyway, I searched for Myrna and found her page, then clicked on the View Source link, copied it.  I returned to her page and put the link on her profile.  I then added the <span> tags and fixed the biography.  It had 3 find a grave links in a row (that actually led to the search page).  So, look at the Edit tab to see what I did, or the Changes tab.

Normally, I would just tell you what I think you should do, but your post sounded a little frustrated.  Let me know if you need more explanation.  It is fine to use both the <span></span> tags and the <ref=grave>Find A Grave, blah blah blah</ref> tags as well, or a mix of the two.

The Source citation for the FAG reference is not for Myrna. You will need to replace the citation for Doris with the one for Myrna.

That is the weirdest thing.  I copy and pasted from Myrna's Find A Grave, but sure enough, Doris was there.  I did it again and double and triple checked.
I also just noticed that just using the Find A Grave suggested citation does not provide a link to the actual profile.  I like how Doug put the source template after.  Now I have a lot of fixing to do.  Grrrrr.
That was what happened to me also.  That is why I ended up with 3 incorrect sources.  I don't know how you fixed it but thank you so much. I'm still not sure on how to do all my suggestions but I'm working on it.  Thanks again.Lucy Selvaggio-Diaz.
