Role should not be in the same typeface as Name

I was using the New Source Linker to attach https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FB9R-NRH to the participant profiles.

When it brings up the 2 participants, the names and roles are shown in the same typeface, etc, thus:

Failing to distinguish the role of (Wife) from the immediately adjacent name Frances Isabel Lawton results in potential confusion or a waste of time trying to work out what's going on. I certainly spent minutes the first time I saw this, trying to decide whether the word (Wife) or (Husband) or whatever had actually been indexed as part of the name.

I would remind you that "Husband" is, in fact, a family-name so imagine the confusion of some text that reads Doris Husband (Wife)...

I suggest that as a minimum the words (Wife), (Husband) or whatever be italicised or even separated further to reduce confusion. E.g. Frances Isabel Lawton (Wife)

    I concur (still can't use the reactions).
