Hermano, That's only what exists for Canto. Ponta Garca has an index created by who knows in the 1980s. Ribeira Quente has a marriage index in the Insulana book (it's a series). Fr. Joe Viveiros made a whole Gedcom that serves as an index for the Carlos Machado genealogies. And a bunch of us have made our own indices for the freguesias that we research the most.
I really ought to start a thread, round up people, and figure this out. Maybe after Salt Lake though. My plate should be more clear by then. On Fri, Jan 31, 2014 at 7:41 PM, Hermano C.
