Source Linker

It looks like you cannot fix this at this time. There has been a problem reported frequently here in Communities with people in an index vanishing from the index if editing is done. Apparently the engineers have isolated the problem, turned off the functions that cause this, and, I hope, are working on fixing it. So keep this on your list of things to do and check back every few months to see if you can edit the census index and fix the problem.

If you look at the record for William there is a new notification regarding the change in the editor.

In the past, to fix an index by editing a household you would click the arrow at the top:

Clicking it takes you to the full listing of people on the page with a link "Manage Index":

In order to move a person from one household to another, you would click on "Manage Indexes" and drag the person to the proper spot. However that link has been deactivated.

In the meantime, if you know who this Elizabeth Thompson is, you can still attach her source to the right person in Family Tree. If her family does not exist in Family Tree you will need to create profiles for each family member first. Then after you have found or created Elizabeth, copy her ID number.

Next go to the source linker:

Use the Change Person button on the left to move Elizabeth to the Focus Person position:

Then click on the Change Person button on the right to open that pop up:

Paste Elizabeth's ID into the box to put her Family Tree profile into the right hand column of the source linker. You will then be able to attache the her census source to her Family Tree profile.
