    If a feature is not working properly in FamilySearch, it is often a good idea to do some housekeeping. The article links below will help you do that.

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-delete-all-of-the-cookies-and-temporary-files-stored-by-my-internet-browser

    It is important to use a supported browser as well. Here is a link to an article from the help center which names the browsers that are supported by FamilySearch.

    If these suggestions do not help, please feel free to call this number, 1-866-406-1830, and discuss the issue with a support staff member.

    Best Wishes.
