Same here many times, it's nothing personal, probably their servers overloaded. Annoying, but not much you can do but wait.

OK so its VERY temporary - 10 minutes I think! Just tried again and got straight in - perhaps it was a warning.... Thanks Sue

Would not worry about that message. Usually clears it self. Last time I got the message I had not used the site in weeks. Maureen

I seem to have been using Family Search too much and am not allowed access 'temporarily'. I assume it's happened to others - how long does this ban last and does any one know what constitutes overuse of the site? thanks, Sue

This usually happens when there is a fault with the website. They are probably doing some maintenance. Don't worry! You may need to be patient until it comes back working normally however. Cheers, Horatia
