I would suggest you have a "Search" feature for all of the sources in the Source Box. It would be nice to type in a word(s) in a Search and have it bring up all of the sources which contain that word(s) in the title. Thanks! :)

    Bosch said: It only shows 25 sources per page. With this method I would have to search in 17 pages.

    PLEASE add a search bar at the top of the sources pages! This would save so much time when searching for specific sources. Many of my ancestors have 50+ sources.

    Also, some type of duplicate sources indicator would be helpful. Something similar to duplicate people, but just for sources so that we could clean out and eliminate extras.

    Thanks!
