I forgot that I had joined this group haha, but since my direct ancestors are Brights I've been working on that branch quite a lot anyway. Anybody know if there's a way to add the sticker to multiple profiles at once or do you have to just go in one by one?

Hello. I do not have direct ancestors with the Bright surname, but I do have a first cousin once removed who does. I'm managing a few profiles under that surname in my research for her and her children. I'll add your sticker to those profiles, and please let me know if you come across them and need any information. :)
