Civil Marriages for Denmark
I was just on my Family Tree looking at different records for my family and I noticed I am unable to view any Civil Marriage record, its blank. I was wanting to research my mothers record in Odense Civil Marriages and I can't view them at all. I hope its a glitch and not normal practice.
I hope I explained it and you can understand my concern.
Thank You, Joan Houck

I can't see any collection in the Catalog that might be relevant, so I wonder where you undertook your search from? Specifically, how do you mean "…its blank"? If you would describe your search path in more detail it would be of great help in our understanding the problem you are encountering.
However, if your mother's marriage took place relatively recently, I would be most surprised (for reasons of privacy) if you were to be able to access an image, or even a transcript, from the FamilySearch website.

All the Civil Marriages records I have saved say "Image Unavailable". It's upsetting when records all of a sudden disappear.

@Joan Houck The marriages in that source list are from 1943 and 1953. Those would likely be restricted for reasons of data privacy.

I assume you are saying you could view them at the time you added them as sources, back in 2023 / 2024.
In my experience, access to images can be restricted immediately a contract expire or - probably, as in this case - until someone at FamilySearch realised / was told that, due to their date, they should never have been made available for viewing in the first place!
I would always recommend immediately downloading any images that are of particular interest to you, as a similar case is likely to occur (without warning) at any time. At least you could then have access to the images in a folder on your computer, even if you can no longer access them through Family Tree.
