Hi John,

There haven't been any updates to the CCA online parish records in several 
months now.. The Joao Ventura you contacted is, I believe, an employee of 
DRAC so he may have an insider access to the unreleased stuff.

I've been making a site to track the updates to the Portuguese parishes 
records online, and I haven't seen anything in the Azores for months. 
Portugal itself is going through an interesting some-records-every-day 
phase since early July (see http://tombo.pt). I've spoken to an employee of 
the Horta Archive and he indicated that the rest of the Horta parishes are 
ready for release but they're stuck somewhere in the process. Hopefully it 
doesn't have anything to do with the fact that some DRAC employees can get 
paid to supply them on the side.

Regards,

João Ventura
(the other one)
