Problem checking LC entries with FMP

Working fine now, and there is no mention of problems on the Awin site, so it was probably a temporary glitch, such as a DNS server being down, or misconfiguration at some point along the line. There were problems last week with other sites, indeed it seems the Internet is becoming increasingly jittery.

 

I can't reproduce the problem so it must be in some way related to your ISP (although no doubt they will deny this). I vaguely remember that when similar problems have been reported on the forum (though not necessarily in relation to Findmypast) changing DNS servers was the solution. Someone else reading this probably can probably point you in the right direction.

But first try another browser, just in case that makes a difference.

Provided you worked out the census references yourself (following the explanation in the LostCousins FAQs), rather than relying on the transcription, there shouldn't be a problem - the reference checking arrows were introduced primarily to help new members, who are usually not familiar with census references. But you can always carry out the search at Findmypast directly - the arrows are simply a device to save you time.
