Question about adding source

 My name is Charles C. Ross and Sheila Weidner is my niece, the holder of a 'FamilySearch' account. Her grandparents Joseph Clifford and Avis Genevieve Ross are my parents. Sheila has graciously allowed me to contribute to her Tree and to make entries as I see possible. You will note several entries under “My Contributions“, and many of these updates were made by me and not all by Sheila. You will also note, that the changes I made dealt mostly with Massachusetts and the 1600 and 1700s. I tried to give reasons for the changes but I now feel I should have added at least one more source; History of Massachusetts – Wikipedia. I have changed many birth/death place endings; for example: Many entries used “United States” before Massachusetts became a State or 'British Colonial America'. If they had put' British etc.' in parentheses or even used New England, this might have worked? Here's my problem, “Going back and adding the above source to so many people is something I'd rather not do.” Would it be possible/sufficient to add a “New Folder' named “Massachusetts” in/under “Source Box” and how would I do this?

    To add a folder to your source box, go to your name in the top right. click your name, click source box. when the source box opens, go to the column on the left. there is a blue rectangle with NEW FOLDER..click that and you can name it and proceed to add your sources to the folder. Hope this helps.
