João, thank you for your input. You are so right. The down time for CCA should not make CCA so discredited. They are doing a great service. We are living in a society where everyone is so impatient. Does it really matter if you are unable to look something up for a day, or two? I also agree, Familysearch has the resources, but for the Azores to give away the data would not only mean nobody would go to CCA, but would reduce CCA as a resource for tourism and revenue. Why do you think the Portuguese are offering citizenships with so little commitment to the people who apply (revenue)? I am not writing this in criticism of Portugal, it's just the climate of small governments around the world at this time.
