Doesn't work...All I get is a Hello! when I try to use it
by Q Franklin, 2019-01-23

I'm not sure if this is because familysearch have just updated their 'look' this week but this extension doesn't appear to be working. It's only response is Hello! when I click on it while on census record pages. I've not used this extension before installing just 10 minutes ago.
