With Source Linker, you can quickly add an ancestor to the FamilySearch Family Tree.
To listen to this article, press play.
This option appears in Source Linker if a person from a record (left column) isn't identified in Family Tree (right column). This could happen for several reasons:
- The person is in Family Tree but is connected to other relatives, not the ones on the record.
- The person is connected to the family but is not lined up correctly in Source Linker. (See Using drag and drop in Source Linker to organize families.)
- The person is not in Family Tree.
Before adding someone to Family Tree using Source Linker, check to make sure they are not already in Family Tree. If you determine they need to be added:
- Drag the person's name to the correct line in the left column.
- Click the blue Add button.
- A panel will appear on the right side of the page with information about the new person filled in. Review it, and add any necessary changes or additions.
- Click Create New Person. The person is added to Family Tree.
