Are you managing to view the images?  It won't let me see them even if I sign in.

When I sign in it takes me to the image Perhaps too many people are on it?

Thanks.  After playing around a bit more, it seems that I can view the images for the Archdeaconry of Rochester and the Diocese of Rochester, but not the Archdeaconry of Canterbury, Diocese of Canterbury, Exempt Deanery of Shoreham, nor Peculiar of the Rector of Cliffe.  Are you able to view those?

I get "image not available" for the Canterbury ones I tried Kate (haven't looked further yet).

I just lost my previous post.  So sad.  But to repeat...

Apparently you need to be at a LDS Family History Center to access those records or belong to an supporting organization--I assume the LDS Church...If I were you I would email them and ask what the 'supporting organization' is and why this is in place when you can see the other records in the Kent Wills collection.  Their contact info is under the Help page.

On a brighter note I just read that the East Kent Parish records held by the Canterbury Archives are coming to Find My Past this month--exciting!  I wasn't looking forward to order a gazillion microfilm for my Kent folk.

Also if you visit a LDS Family History Center you should have access to some collections FREE at the center--namely Ancestry, The Genealogist, British Newspapers and FindmyPast!

Thanks, I will try emailing them.  I posted on their forum but it wasn't much help.
