Gaylon Findlay said: Yes.
I am also the developer of Ancestral Quest, and the primary developer of PAF 5.
Members of the Church, who use our software to provide Hints from Findmypast, are reporting that they can no longer get access to records from Findmypast, as there seems to be a problem.
I also went to the FamilySearch.org/tree page, and tried to do a search on Findmypast from the Search section of the person details page. I can no longer view records when the search is initiated from FamilySearch.org/tree.0 -
A van Helsdingen said: I'd guess either:
1. There is a technical/software issue (most likely)
2. The records in question are no longer available to LDS free accounts. When the partnership started, "99%" of records on FMP, Ancestry, MyHeritage etc were available via the free LDS accounts. The owners of many records have since opted-out, and demanded that only paying customers can view their records.
3. The partnership has quietly been suspended or terminated (seems unlikely given the lack of announcement)0 -

I tried this the Search from the Persons Details page work for both member and public accounts.
Sometimes the authentication can get goofed up by browser cookies and such.
This has been forwarded on to the partner team.0 -
