WikiTree Sourcer is a Chrome extension designed to streamline genealogical research on wikitree.com. It enables users to effortlessly search other genealogy websites for relevant records directly from a WikiTree profile page. When viewing records on supported genealogy sites, the extension can extract data to build accurate citations for use on WikiTree, saving time and reducing manual entry.

Additionally, WikiTree Sourcer allows users to search for similar records across various genealogy platforms, helping uncover free or alternative versions of original sources, such as finding free copies of records originally seen on Ancestry. The extension operates silently with minimal performance impact, only activating when its popup menu is used. It does not modify any web pages, ensuring a seamless and unobtrusive user experience.

    Extension safety

    Risk impact
    Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

    WikiTree Sourcer requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

    Risk impact analysis details
    • Critical Request access to the following domains: {{requestedDomains}}
    • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
    Risk likelihood
    Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

    WikiTree Sourcer is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
