    I have a PGV 4.2.3 installation with two individual ged-files.
    When I click on a link created by Google fx (…../pgv/family.php?famid=F2) I get one of three results:
    1. The family members shown in the Google search
    2. The wrong family
    3. Or the message "Unable to find record with ID"
    It is random which result I get.
    It also applies to all other links that do not contain the name of the ged-file.
    Can anyone help me?

    Earlier versions of PGV didn't generate URLS containing explicit "&ged=MyGedcom.ged" parameters.

    Perhaps google indexed an older version of your site?  Wait for google to reindex it?

    It is a new site. I started with PGV 4.2.2 in december 2009 and updated shortly to 4.2.3

    Have you set a "default gedcom"?

    Yes, but that do not solve the problem

    Since your site is indexed on google, I'm curious as to why you blocked out the URL in your original post.

    There are lots of things that we could look at if we could see it.

    I guess you don't really want our help.

    Thanks.  It is always easier to investigate when you can see the site.

    This looks like a bug in the "family navigator" block on the individual page.  When visiting your site as a search engine, it is generating links for the default gedcom, not the gedcom for the individuals.

    Thus it adds the &ged.XXX.ged for individuals, but not families.

    Raise a bug report, and I'll get it fixed.

    Actually, no need for a bug report.  I've just checked the latest code, and it appears to have been fixed already.
