Attaching sources to the whole family
Please make it easier to attach sources (the ones that I made) to each person in the family that the source applies to. It is so time consuming. I could get three times the work done if I didn't have to spend so much time going back and forth. I know you smart people have the know how to make it easy as can be. I have faith in you.

If it's one source and many family members, I find that the most efficient way to do it is to open my account view of my Source Box in one browser tab, and a "central" family member's Details page in another tab. I scroll down to the Family Members section on the latter, copy an ID, go to the Source Box tab, find the source, click Attach, By ID, paste, attach, attach. Then back to the profile, copy the next ID, and repeat.
While the availability of the account's view and its Attach buttons is a definite improvement over what came before, I agree that it's still tedious -- and it doesn't work for adding sources to couples. It also doesn't offer any opportunity to tag the new source to anything on the profile. (It easily could, on one of the confirmation screens.)

I agree, @esojohnson ! It would be awesome if it were as easy to attach an external source as a FamilySearch Historical Records source.

Take a look at Recordseek.com. From their home page:
We take any website on the net, and convert it to a source citation automatically. With the help of our technology recording sources becomes a joy, rather than a struggle.
RecordSeek automatically creates a MLA format source citation for you, so you get the benefit of an official citation, without the frustration.
I love this product. It is free and any web page can automatically become a source. There is a chrome addin and it is fully automatic.
