Familysearch not working
« on: Monday 13 August 18 08:53 BST (UK) »
Anyone else have a problem with the Familysearch site.
For the past hour or so I keep getting.

"This page isn’t working
www.familysearch.org is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 503"

Ditto on my Wife's computer.

There is obviously a problem because I can’t bring up the site area all, just a blank screen.

Are you using internet explorer?  Familysearch hasn't been supporting this for some time now.  Try a different browser like firefox or chrome or edge, you'll probably find one or other of them will work.

I'm using Chrome, also the latest Windows fully updated.
I was able to access the site a couple of hrs ago.

Is the site working for you?
