2020-09-15 | Janet Wild | I find this extension so useful for importing my family tree and for updating old profiles. One improvement I would like to see is the ability to bring across a fuller source link, but it does enough to get a profile started. | ||
2020-08-31 | Campbell Braddock | Doesn't work the way the description says, only "Update an Existing WikiTree Profile" using ancestry/ FamilySearch source proforms currently Create Related or Unrelated WikiTree Profile from ID doesn't work on my computer (it was working over a year ago), when I push "Go" it takes me to an empty create a new profile form with no data automatically entered | ||
2019-01-14 | Peter Liepmann | As someone noted, this doesn't transfer the actual data sources, but has a link to the profile on FamilySearch which has the sources. Wikitree also misses some of the exclusionary data that would prevent false matches (like matching someone who was born and died in 1809 with someone in the 1870 census) but overall, excellent! Good work, thank you!! | ||
2018-08-18 | Mc Bill | Seems like it would be quite useful if it worked on MyHeritage. Unfortunately, all it does is open up an empty edit page with no info carried over. Might as well not bother. | ||

2017-12-01 | J.T. Smith | I love this extension and it makes my family tree work so much easier. My #1 recommendation is to make this copy source links from FamilySearch profiles rather than just link the profile. That'd make it incredible. | ||
2017-11-09 | Thomas Anderson | Wonderful tool. One reviewer gave only four stars saying 'room for improvement.' Not sure what he meant and any product can be improved but even without improvements it deserves all five stars. Easy to use, flexible, saves a lot of work. | ||
2017-10-05 | Wayne Hicking | What a great app! I use it all the time, would highly reccomend to anybody who is serious about extending their tree. | ||
