I have been unable to access FamilySearch

All day today I have been having trouble with Family Search. Not just on one profile, but several.  Whether I access it from "research" on the profile page, or if I use the Genealogy Tools and "Genealogy Research" with Research with Rootsearch, the same message comes up and I cannot work on any suggestions:

Unable to load the person. Check the ID and try again.
WikiTree profile: Elmer Walter
in The Tree House by Alexandra Florimonte G2G6 Mach 3 (38.9k points)

I did a search in FamilySearch/Family Tree for Carl Walter, son of Elmer, based on the profile you referenced, and had no problem bringing up either one of them. I am not sure if these are the right people, but the search worked for me. These are the links for these two https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/KV2Q-83L and https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L2PH-1DX

Rootsearch has been wonky all week

several notices about problem in g2g
Thanks, Eddie
Thank you, George! That is them! I had to contact my aunt, to make sure!

Thanks for all these connections!  I finally got RootSearch to work, by cleaning out all my browser history. I wonder if there was just too much traffic over the weekend because of the Clean-a-thon.
