- Share the source of the information you know, and attach it to the Person ID of the person.

Dear Robert:
We are including a link to the FamilySearch Wiki for Sierra Leone. It has a lot of links for research. We hope you find one that works for you. Sierra Leone Genealogy • FamilySearch. We also tried to find an existing name in FamilySearch and Ancestry, but we did not find one to help you out. PaulaAnn
P.S. We edited your original statement to remove your name, as this is personal information.
