Hi everyone.. I've been away for a few months... I haven't been doing much research on the Azorean side lately, so I dropped out for a while..
I can see you're all having withdrawal pains from the CCA site being down. It's their site that's down, not tombo.pt, so there's nothing I can do. As to the 'new' site, this is OLD news (search in this group for my messages announcing it more than 18 months ago: "arquivos.azores.gov.pt'"). It's a catalog site, and for now I see no evidence that they're adding records to it.. The one book that you've found there (Estrela baptisms from 1541 to 1563) has been there since at least March 13 2014. I see no evidence that anything is changing regarding that site (and trust me, I would know within 24hrs). This other site served a purpose for all of us once, when they still hadn't provided everything online. Now that they've digitized everything upto 1911, I don't think we'll get any news from them in some time.. The tombo.pt sites still checks every week, so if there are any news, it will find out automatically. Also, if they ever switch to this new site also for the digitized images, tombo.pt will adapt and provide you with the listings for each parish, same as today. I see that Cheri has already contacted them, and I'm sure they're aware of the problem. Let's hope that it's not serious.. Unfortunately, I know as much as you. These things happen, but usually it's solved with a simple reboot of the machines. João C.
