Link your sources from Ancestry to FamilySearch

What is Ancestry Source Linker?
Ancestry Source Linker is a chrome extension that is devised to streamline the process of attaching sources from Ancestry.com to FamilySearch.org. It automatically fills in some fields while remembering the last value entered in others, allowing users to swiftly transfer and connect records between the two platforms. It currently supports linking of images and is updated to maintain compatibility with FamilySearch's changes. To use this extension, users need to have accounts on both Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org.

Summary

This is a quick way to attach an Ancestry.com source to multiple people on FamilySearch.org. The extension will take information from the Ancestry source in the current tab and autofill some fields. Other fields will remember the last value entered. This has helped my wife to quickly source records from Ancestry.com to FamilySearch.org persons.

This only works for images currently. Updated to correctly attach sources after FamilySearch changes.

Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org accounts are required.
