Jeanne L, I'm not Eric. NEPS doesn't want to be called NEPS anymore. They want to be called CITCEM-GHP. NEPS was something like Nucleu Estudia para Population and Society. I mixed my Portuguese and English there. Something like the Core Study of Population and Society in English. I'd have to look up CITCEM-GHP on their web site. It's a mouthful, so most people still call it NEPS.
As for the CCA, you can't "search" their pages. When you get to your freguesia and find the years you want, you go page by page looking for your ancestor. Recent history depends on your definition of recent. 10 years ago? 50 years ago? The records are online up to 1910/1911 or so. That's it. Any other 1900s record you will have to write to the Civil Registry for that particular council that your freguesia belongs to. They don't do searches, so hopefully you have the exact date.
