Hi Pam S I have used ARM and they do not actual have the records, it would only be the information of the parents and child and date of birth, from there you would have to order the records from ARM, but sometime it may not be the records you want because of incorrect information. If you are like me and have surname that is used a lot in a village then it is hard to tell if they are brother sister and or if they are aunts, uncles and so one. I hope this helps Bob Camacho Researching the Island of Terceira for da Costa, Evangelho, Pacheco, Ferriera Researching the Island of Graciousa for Reis Researching the Island of Madeira for Camacho Researching Brazil for Evangelho

I know the actual digitizing it will take awhile but indexing would help. They also have Baptism for Funchal also, They should change the title so it says Madeira on it kind of confusing. Now does ARM have the actual records online or just index?

They have the most records at this time. The link you sent was "Portuguese Marriages" so I missed it in the listing, as I was looking for something that said Funchal. They have only 59,000 marriages listed. Family Search is digitizing ALL their records. I think they told me and Joao it will take 4-5 years to get it all digitized. Indexing is an ongoing project. To index something outside of the U.S., you need to index something in the U.S. first to get used to their system. I don't know how long it will take to index all their records. A real long time.
