So you know when you go to sources, and it goes on to ask you which family member would match the certain person I was wondering if they can't put the right name first to make it a little easier.

    Do you mean in Source Linker?

    I had to go searching pretty far to come up with a record for which Source Linker didn't have a suggestion; in such cases, it brings up your history list (the profiles you've looked at recently). If it does have a suggestion, it just puts it right in the right-hand column, and it's only if you disagree about that selection that you need to argue with it.

    In other words, if I'm interpreting your suggestion correctly, then that's how the system already behaves -- when it can.

    If I'm misinterpreting your suggestion, I apologize.
