Are you using the links to the churches from this page

http://www.rootschat.com/links/0bl/

Some of the newer Dartford registers do not appear to be accessible online

Why are the rootschat shrunken links giving me a blank page? This one for me is blank, and one I made for myself from the Cityark page, and all I get from that one is another completely blank page? TinyURL is working for me, though.

This is the Rootschat one:

and here's the TinyURL

Thought it was just me, and that I was doing something wrong!

It's off again, and I hadn't finished what I was looking for.

Looking back through rootschat threads, it has happened before and so far has always come back, so here's hoping.

It was working ok yesterday mid morning when I checked.  It is still ok today so hopefully it is now sorted. 

It is good to have a record office that lets us have free access to these records.  ;)   ;D

I've just come upon this discussion, wanting to look in particular at the Dartford registers. Are the images of parish records back online?

Hi

The old site is down again at the time of writing this, the new site seems to have some bits if you can work your way through it, typical council, why make things easy when you can make it difficult,........ or perhaps its just me. ???

Had another go, and you can scroll through the registers now, so I may have been a bit hasty. ;D

Know what you mean...some years ago when I found City Ark it was a brilliant resource and yielded up some images of my 18th c ancestors' baptisms & marriage. Let's hope the 'improvements' allow similar access

Does anyone know if the Medway City Ark is down for any reason? I haven't been able to access it for two days, just keep on getting the 'Please contact Adlib if the problem persists.' message after a few minutes. But I can't see anywhere that gives you an address to contact, very frustrating.

I've tried both of these URLs:-

https://cityark.medway.gov.uk/

I get the above message after clicking on 'Parish Records' and the second one which was posted on RootsChat back in Feb this year no longer works either:-

Help please.....Dawn

No, I can't get in either.
First page is fine, but the error message occurs once I try to search.
