Update on Scottish censuses on FamilySearch

Good deed done for the day!

Following on from my recent blog post about the disappearing Scottish censuses on FamilySearch (see https://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2020/02/whats-happening-to-scottish-censuses-on.html), I've had an email exchange with them, and have just heard back with the following update:

"Your post helped us to realize that we have been showing a very small portion to some of the public due to a glitch in our system. We’re trying to fix it now."

I'll advise further when the records are hopefully back up!
