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.
