Issue with links to "findmypast" from within familysearch.org

There are multiple ways to access findmypast through familysearch.org. As a partner, familysearch provides access to findmypast without fees. There appears to be a programming issue, as the link don't act the same. One route ends with findmypast requesting money to have access, the other works fine at a partner site.

Example: When I search for data/events for a person in FS, sometimes the results show that to view the original document, you must click into a link to go to findmypast. Counter to this, if I go into findmypast from a Details page for an individual, the link works smoothly and there is no cost.

It appears there is a programming issue relative to accessing findmypast as a link our of a search data page.

If you have questions, please call me at: 208-985-9044


thanks, Scott McMullin

    My experience is it depends on whether "Find my past" believes you are signed in to their site. If you have not visited for awhile, they may require you to sign in again before you can view the records. I have not spent an extensive time jumping directly from sources so cannot comment on that. But if I have made recent searches then I have not trouble with additional searches
