Add AmericanAncestors to Search Records on the person page
AmericanAncestors.org, the website for New England Historic Genealogical Society, is a major search site for multigeneration LDS members whose ancestry date back to the Pilgrims and those of the Great Migration to New England. I believe that a significant percentage of Church can claim lineage through New England

FYI
"AmericanAncestors" [ ie. AmericanAncestors.org ] is ALREADY a "Partner" with 'FamilySearch', with which we can Link/Join our 'FamilySearch' Account'.
IF, you wish to Link/Join your 'FamilySearch' Account' to "AmericanAncestors"; THEN, here is the direct link/URL in 'FamilySearch' to do so.
AmericanAncestors
https://www.familysearch.org/partner/americanancestors
There are a number of others Websites that "Partner" with 'FamilySearch'', with which we can Link/Join our 'FamilySearch' Account'.
IF, you have not already; THEN, here is the Link to the Main page/screen in 'FamilySearch', of that lists of those other "Partner" Websites, with which you can Link/Join your 'FamilySearch' Account', along with the aforementioned.
Partner Access

And ...
Here are a couple of "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch':
[ From where, you will also find links to other corresponding "Knowledge Articles" ]
Why does FamilySearch partner with other organizations?
Why does FamilySearch partner with other organizations?
How do I sign up for partner memberships?
I hope this helps.

To clarify my request I would like to say that I already am a member of AmericanAncestors.org. I do search often. My request is to place a link on the Person Page, Search Records panel to make it a little easier. OR give me the option to add or delete a web site from a list of possible web sites. As it is now I have no use for Geneanet or Filae and that space could be better use by me with AmericanAncestors.org

O.K., that certainly clarifies your original post.
I just thought that you may not be aware that, "AmericanAncestors" [ ie. AmericanAncestors.org ] is ALREADY a "Partner" with 'FamilySearch'.
And ...
'Yes', it is interesting that "AmericanAncestors", does not appear, in that "Search Records" on an individual's/person's "Person/Details" page/screen; even, when one has "Connected" the two Accounts.
But ...
That said ...
I tend to think, that reason, that "AmericanAncestors" DOES NOT appear in that "Search Records" is, because that "AmericanAncestors", itself, DOES NOT want it to do so, for whatever reason.
IF, you are a member of "AmericanAncestors"; THEN, I would humbly suggest that you ask the 'Question' of "AmericanAncestors"; as, to WHY.
Now ...
As to "Adding" and "Deleting" from "Search Records" ...
I believe that "Adding", relates to "Connected" Accounts with "Partner" websites ...
Whereas, NOT all "Partner" websites appear in that "Search Records"; again, I would suggest whether a "Partner" website appears DEPENDS on the "Partner's" DESIRE.
But ...
I would suggest that "Deleting", a "Connected" Account with "Partner" websites is SHOULD be quite EASY.
[ But, I do not know for sure; as, I have never "Deleted"; and, do not want to "Delete", such ... ]
I suggest this SHOULD work ...
▬ Just go to your "Settings" in 'FamilySearch'.
... ie.
... Select your "Display Name" at the TOP 'right-hand-corner' of any page/screen
... Select "Settings" from the 'Drop Down' Menu
▬ Now, select the "PERMISSIONS" 'Tab' on the TOP Line Menu (ie. 'right-hand-side') of resulting page/screen
... Go down to the Section at the Bottom ... that being "Partner Access"
▬ For the "Partner" Accounts, that are "Connected", that you DO NOT want, select that ... "REVOKE ACCESS"
As I suggested, that MAY "Remove" the likes of, "Geneanet"; and, "Filae" from YOUR "Search Records".
But ...
That said ...
I word of CAUTION ...
IF, you HELP Others; THEN, I would personally suggest that, you DO NOT revoke ANY of the "Partner" Accounts that are "Connected".
One may NOT personally use those "Partner" Accounts that are "Connected"; but, you never know when you may need them.
Personally, as they are no real burden, I leave them 'in-situ' ...
[ As, I have sometimes used them to HELP Others ... ]
Whereas ...
IF, that suggestion of mine DOES NOT work; THEN, perhaps, once "Connected", those "Partner" Accounts, are a 'preset' fixture.
Just my thoughts.
Good Luck.
I do not know if it will; but, I hope this helps.
