Please change comment that appears when trying to access sources relating to deleted IDs

The message shown below is most confusing. It should be reworded to reflect the fact that originally attached sources cannot be viewed from a since deleted / merged ID. The source is likely to be found against the surviving ID - providing it was carried across in the merging process.

This is not the only place in FamilySearch where a similar message to "try again later" appears - when, in fact, you could carry on trying forever and still not get the item / results being sought!

The only way of seeing the source directly is by using "Restore Person" - definitely not implied by the current wording.
