Ah. Thank you Cathy. That explains a lot. It takes me to a FamilySearch tree (which I do not consider a valid source) BUT when I click on the source material "record" on the screen to see a source it takes me to GenealogyBank and demands membership.
It appears the solution - the one I am going to try next anyway - is to disconnect the FamilySearch part and see what shows up.
