Hi Malcolm,

Sometimes happens to me too, then I realize that I've put the parents names in the wrong place.

If you enter the region and the names of the couple where it says "First and Last Names" you get the marriage only, but if you go to the right where it asks for the Father and Mother's names that one brings up all the children (for me anyway). Hope this helps. By the way, this was one of the many tips I got from Talking Scot...from Andrew P, I think, so thanks Andrew!

Regards,

Anne H

LDS family search

Post by Maud Jarvis » Mon Dec 05, 2005 1:39 pm

Hi
I find the easiest way to avoid the page expires when searching on the IGI is when you return to the list of names, instead of clicking on the back button, just click on to the "Search results/download/pedigree" click search results and you will go straight back to the list of names
Seeking any descendents from Ezekiel McCulloch, Port Glasgow, also Neil Barr (Greenock)

Yes David, the reply was full of useful advice (I got my computer programmer husband to make sure I did it all properly!).... but it didn't help. I tried the LDS site earlier this evening, it's still the same.

Hello again everyone,

I received a thank you from LDS Support for passing along AlanMc's solution to the problem with the back button. They now have their engineers working on it and hope to get it fixed.

Thanks again AlanMc…we have a solution and they are finally working on the problem.

Regards,

Great news! Thankyou Anne & AlanMc =D> You deserve gold stars for that.... I just have to remember not to use the BACK button.
