Attach Source is a blind alley

I could not find the right group to post this in; please excuse my backward nature but out here in the stix of Colorado we get tired of our usual "suffer in silence" mode and sometimes we just have to squeak up.


On the page https://www.familysearch.org/photos/artifacts/18447031 we have a page from the old family Bible. At the right are identified the people named therein. Two of them are George Wilcox and Rebecca Kane. The page offers to attach them to somebody. I click on that and I don't get to anywhere I can attach it.

It's just the dossier LWVS-L9K.


========================

This long chain of links has led not to anywhere I can attach the source. FamilySearch has hired another New Guy I surmise. Could somebody take the New Guy aside and give him some pointers on how to program a website?

    Hmm, guy from the 'stix' of Utah was able to attach those. There is a 'Use Person ID' option below 'Find in Family Tree (Deceased people only)' - if you put the ID in there it just goes ahead and attaches them. I removed them so you can go back in and try it out.
