We heard the same thing during a recent visit to the Archivo. The Vila Franca do Campo records are all ready to go, but for some reason they have not been posted on the web site yet. We asked an employee what was causing the delay, but didn't really get an answer. It was nice, however, to be able to view the records on one of the two computers available however, versus pulling out the old books. We look forward to the day when we can see these records at out leisure without making a trip or looking at microfilms.
