Hi,

After a few months away, I got back to try and look up some new data on relatives... and I'm getting a blocked access message:

========

Access Denied

Error 15

What happened?

There are several reasons this error may have occurred. The following may resolve the issue.

  • Open your web browser in an Incognito/Private window.
  • Use a mainstream browser if you are not already such as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
  • Disable your VPN if you use one.

==========

Interestingly, I can browser the community site (where I'm posting this).

Why would I be blocked? It's a regular 500mbit home cable connection.

    Quite a few people have reported the problem. It's not YOU being blocked.

    Clear your FamilySearch cookies, close and reopen your browser, and you should be fine.
