You won't get a link to a record from the SSDI, because there is no image to link to. Social Security records are merely an index, you don't see any actual document. If you want a physical document for an SSDI record, you'll have to take a screen print of it.

I assumed they were old sources. I generally link from FTM, but occasionally from the AMT. I did a couple of test cases to check this out. I merged a source from the SS Death Index and a census record from AMT to my tree. When I checked FTM, both sources did have the "View Online" link, BUT did *not* have the web address. Other records from the SS Death Index and Census records that I merged from FTM have both the "View Online" link AND the web address. Another thing I observed about the census record that I downloaded via ATM. I selected both the husband and wife when I merged the records. On the source in FTM, the citation does not state ' Record for NAME' in the citation text. Also the "View Online" link takes you to the person that the record is attached to instead of to the person from whom the record was merged from. In my case, the 1930 census, I did the merge from the wife's record in AMT. In FTM, when I click on the "View Online" link for the husband, it takes me to the 1930 census for the husband. If I had merged that record from the wife via FTM and click on the 'View Online' link for the husband, it would take me to the wife's record for the 1930 census in Ancestry. I thought you might be interested in my results.
