Whilst I have yet to add them to my ancestry on Wikitree, having just been alerted to them being my ancestors (the next generation beyond what I have thus far seen, of that lineage), and, their being victims of the Haswell Mining Disaster, with the three
" Gibson, Joseph aged 50, and three sons Gibson, John aged 22, son of Joseph, brother of Ralph and William Gibson, Ralph aged 15, son of Joseph, brother of John and William Gibson, William aged 12, son of Joseph, brother of John and Ralph " -http://www.lostancestors.eu/memwar/H/Haswell.htm
being ancestors of mine, with Joseph Gibson, the father, being one of my 3g-grandfathers, I am wondering, when I create their profiles, and add them to my ancestry on Wikitree, some kind of label/sticker/badge thingy is available and appropriate to include in their profiles, or, whether I should simply include a link to this web page (and to the one that I cited above), as sources for the information that they are victims of the disaster.
Thank you in anticipation, for your advice.
