    3. Doris, Family Search will only create the source from the indexed page- it will not work from the actual image page. And you cannot easily edit (or cannot edit some things) when using their automatic "Add to my sources." If you wish to create a source directly from the image page, use the free bookmarklet - Tree Connect. It can be downloaded at recordseek.com . I have been using it and teaching it in classes. Most love the option of easy editing available, and the option of linking directly to the images. It works directly with Family Tree and saves the source right in your source box. For example with a census in Family Search using the automatic "add to sources" it lists the one person's name in the Title for the source. Thus the source can only be used for that person. A new source should be created for each person in the household so their own information appears on the link. For large families, that could be several new sources. With Tree Connect, you can rename the title to be XXXXXXX Family in 1940 census. Then in the "describe the record- notes" section on Tree Connect- list the information for all family members in the census. It can then be connected to all family members using only one source. And Tree Connect will work with the images found on FamilySearch (or any other website), so you don't have to be limited to the "Add to my sources" options even on their site. If you would like a handout about how to use Tree Connect, let me know as I have one I use in classes and would be happy to share it.

I was going to teach it this morning! Please help! Doris Bateman ------------------------------
