    To add sources manually, go to a person's source page, click on Add Source, click on Add New Source, then fill out the form that appears. It's very free form so it can accommodate any type of source you want to create:

    And there is an automated method through a free Chrome Add In called Record Seek. You copy the Person ID and then go to the Source on the internet.

    Recordseek will copy the source citation and paste it on Sources for the Person Id Selected.

    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.
