I'm having problems with Family Search. When I do search on 1881 census or IGI I get list of results, click on one to see details but when I click on back button to go back to results list I get refresh message and have to go through whole procedure again to look at next lot of details. This is very time consuming and used not to happen. Am I doing something wrong or has their system changed recently?? HELP!! Ann

Ann instead of using your back arrow, click on search results at the top of the page and then it wont take you back to the beginning. I hope this makes sense? Georgina.

right hand top of page is a 'refine search' button try using that. I noticed it is doing that too, never used to

Thanks both of you. I did try refine search and had to fill in the search form again each time, it's a pain! I will try clicking on search results at top of page though but the back button always used to work until recently. Fingers crossed. Thanks Ann

Hi Georgina & Linda YES clicking on search results at top of results page DOES take you back to the list, I just checked it out. Thank you....why didn't I think of that? Thanks for saving me a lot of frustration time!! Regards Ann
