Hi All,
Given the choice I would rather get the image from the CCA site than from any FHC. My reasons are: a. The image quality is much better that microfilm. b. A digital image can be adjusted using most photo editing software c. The CCA records cover the years up till 1910 where the FHC microfilm only goes to 1885 at most d. It is easy to down load an image from the CCA site (just right click and save as) e. The CCA site is open 24/7 unless they are doing site maintenance where the FHC is open only a set number of hours each week. The only disadvantage right now is that not all the records are on line yet. So if you are looking at a parish that is in that category then you still need to go to the FHC and deal with the readers and printers.

Since most of the smaller LDS libraries in the states are not upgrading their printers and alot of the film readers they are not fixing.

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.

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.

I have been checking in every once in a while to see if Flamengos, Faial records have been added. Has there been activity for other islands and parishes? It has been such an invaluable resource. I noticed some of the records I ordered through Joao Ventura also had the watermark (DRAC-EPARJJG) similar to those images on the website. Those ordered records came from parishes not on the website. That seems to suggest the records are in existence but not yet uploaded? Joao is a great asset but sometimes I have to just read all the records online to get him a starting point.
