    Linking source Problem

    You should add Linking Source Problem to your list of helps. I have a cousin who I find in Find A Grave yet I can't get Family Search to bring up the link. It seem like we could start a case file so that some one at Family Search could identify the problem. Also I have had issues with the 1950 census. When trying to correct a name, I can enter the correct name, highlight, and give reason for the change, but when I save it just sits there and spins like its not connecting to Family Search. Thank You

      With FindaGrave, the index on FamilySearch was made in 2013 (see the Collection page). So, if your cousin died after that, her record won't be in FamilySearch's index. You would need to create your own source with the link to the FindaGrave entry for your cousin.

      As for the 1950 Census editing, that is odd and I will report it as a bug. Would you comment with specifics as to the name of the person you were editing, the browser you used, and if it spins like that on any edit or only on the name.
