I was looking at a family member on thepeeragel.com. I haden't previously been able to find anything about this person who lived in 1600 Ireland. How do I create a source for him in Family Tree?

How do I add an outside source to Family Tree?

Steps (website)

1. While signed in to FamilySearch, navigate to the Person page of the individual you want to attach the source to.

3. If the source has not already been attached to this person, click Add Source.
4. Change or enter information about the source. In the Web Page section, select where the digital copy is located:

Recordseek.com is another wonderful way to attach sources found on the internet easily. Instructions will be given to putting it in your bookmarks bar. More can be found about this site by going to the Help Center by clicking on the circle with the question mark and going to Help Center and then clicking on Research Wiki. You can then do a search for Recordseek.

If you go to that person's name there is a source button, click on it and it gives you and it gives you three options to add sources. I hope this helps.
