Hi, Could you please help me add this article as a source to Joseph Francis Merrill KWCV-NFR?


https://www.deseret.com/faith/2021/7/20/22551105/5-facts-about-one-of-the-most-influential-and-forgotten-latter-day-saint-apostles


He is my great-grandmother's brother, and is also in my priesthood line of authority (ordained my stake president, who ordained my father, who ordained me).

    That PID has been locked for years, and has other sources pending.

    While you wait for that PID to be unlocked, you might create a placeholder duplicate PID in your private space where you can attach your source. Take care not to mark it deceased, or it will pop out into the public tree space. This is not a solution but it is a workaround.

    See the instructions below that I received last year from FS for adding a memory to a read-only person--I have done this before, and it says to send the url to FS. I thought there would be a similar process for a source. I guess I could turn this article into a memory.
