Hi Jesse,
Glad you have time to continue your search welcome back. While not much has changed in the last few years I would say that our collective knowledge as a group has increased as each of us searches and records more records. I would say to put out what you are looking for (names date's places) and see what we have.

I remember someone had been in correspondence with the Azores site who said they did plan to eventually have all the records online, but did not give a date. I also remember that I had been using a website called etombo who had a great deal of mainland records online (although their interface was slower than the Azores site's). I believe etombo also had place holders for Azores records, or maybe I had been told they would eventually host them? I could be imagining that though. Familysearch was also in the midst of some changes and was regularly adding records. Unfortunately, I still am not really able to get to any family history centers (and if I remember correctly the one nearest me was having problems) and so I was wondering if someone who has stayed up to date could tell me if there have been any significant breakthroughs with research methods in the past two years. It would be any major things since the summer of 2010. Time was an issue, but the big reason I got out of researching was because I had done as much as I could with the resources I had. I would love to be able to get back into it. If it's relevant, my research revolves around Lagoa and Nordeste in Sao Miguel as well as undetermined parts of Santa Maria, and then Massachusetts and tiny bit of California in the 1900s.
