Hello,

I've been working on a census and I've noticed that some of the names disappear from the census page. One example is below.

Census

A name that disappeared from the indexed names list but is still linked:

Could you take a look?

    I added a new name to a long established indexed source a few days ago and it did not give permission to attach the new name to a profile. Says, "Unable to show if this record is attached to a person in the tree."

    I thought permission would update a day later, but today the name I created days ago disappeared entirely. I tried to re-enter the name, and it gives the "Unable…." message again.

    At this point, I think we can add the names to the source, but cannot do anything to it, and then it will disappear days later.
