I am new to family search meaning I don't have any clue on how to make the search easier and faster. i found new family member and selected to attach it to my family tree I follow every step to the end and it never showed like it was attached.

That is so strange. I never had that problem. Here's a video I created that might help.

Thank You, Miss Carol !​

Another question​. Regarding indexing the records.

​

Can I index the records that I have already found or choose the Puerto Rico records to index ?

Hello Harold, I am happy to help if I can. Please give a FamilySearch ID for the person, and for the person you were trying to attach it to, and I'll see what I can do. ~ Tiffany

And sometimes my computer sort of gets stuck and doesn't seem to record changes. If I get all the way out of familysearch and go back in typing the whole name of the site, not using any autofill, then I can see my changes. Also clearing my cache helps. I empathize. I have been very frustrated when this has happened to me. Hope you find a solution. Tifffany also has a good suggestion. Post the 7 digit letter/number combination over a person's name.

(ACEF-4I9 for example)

Just saw this. I believe you can only index the records that are available to index thus far.
