How do I search a "User-supplied source citation"?
In a source notation for my ancestor, I see the following:
"Migrated from user-supplied source citation: urn:familysearch:source:2035680099"
How do I find this source using the source number, or by some other way?

There might be more information to tell you if you post the ID on which this notation is found. But typically this just means that there was some variety of source on this person in New Family Search, the immediate predecessor to Family Tree. The notation was created as part of the process that imported the profile into FamilyTree when it was first created in 2012.
No other information came along in the import, there is nothing you can find, and these notations can be deleted as useless clutter.

Thank you for your response. The ID for this person is: L6PK-YW9. Here is additional information that may help:
Where The Record Is Found (Citation)

The IGI was imported in full to Family Tree. However, it still exists as a searchable database under Genealogies. It does not include sources so it will not lead you to any actual christening record.
Checking in the IGI and searching for John Judd of Virgina born about 1768 gives 39 records. One of these should be the record that source is referring to. You may or may not find any new information since all of this is already in Family Tree: https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/genealogies/results?q.birthLikeDate.from=1768&q.birthLikePlace=Virginia%2C%20United%20States&q.collectionId=5&q.givenName=john&q.surname=Judd

Since all the source says is: "Christening: Virginia," most likely the source is referring to the first match which also just says "Christening, Virginia."

When you check the change log for John, you will see that someone has deleted his christening, which came in from New Family Search as Virginia, with the explanation "Not so."
