My initial good impression of the re-vamped FamilySearch is rapidly fading. Whether this is due to failures with the LegacyFS code or the FamilySearch website itself, I have no way of knowing. I am tending towards the latter.
I have an individual in my database who I have linked to FamilySearch. When attempting to process the Possible Duplicates, of which there were a number, I am running into the situation that I shell attempt to describe. I first of all go through the list of Possible Duplicates, marking those who are Not the same person, and then I click the Process Actions button. This has the desired effect of removing the imposters from the list, leaving me with those that bear closer examination. I then select the first, matching Possible Duplicate and click the Same Person button. This goes through the whole rigmarole of trying to merge the two individuals on the website. This appears to go well. I then go back to the LegacyFS screen, click on continue and then refresh the Possible Duplicates list. To my dismay, the merge doesn't appear to have happened. The individual is still in the Possible Duplicates list! What's more, if I try to merge the two again, the FamilySearch website claims that I am now trying to merge my Legacy individual with himself! The target of the merge is still there but can not be merged because he's been deleted! This is why I think FamilySearch is at fault. It's pointless trying to contact FamilySearch. They take far too long to respond to questions. This was working yesterday, and my software hasn't changed.
