I emailed them on Saturday. Rick
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cheri Mello Sent: Monday, January 16, 2017 8:07 PM To: Azores Genealogy Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] CCA Down Ahem, it would be nice that a dozen or so people email the CCA and let them know that the server is down. The CCA is on Terceira island. The server is on Sao Miguel island. They don't always know when it's down. It's miles and miles apart. One person emails them. They think "one person." They have a dozen people email them and they realize that there are lots and lots of people using their site and only a fraction of those people let them know. Their email address: [email protected] Always let them know that you are really thankful, really appreciate, yada yada yada, the service that they provide. Then let them know that you are getting that error screen. Angela L, the LDS Church negotiated with the government and went to the Azores in the early to mid-1980s and filmed all the records that were available at that time (1870s or 1880s. Varies by freguesia). At that time, they used the name "Genealogy Society of Utah." So the microfilm goes up to about 1883 or 1884 or so, but not in all locations. You'd have to go to your local FHC and see what film they may have for your freguesias and you'd have to order what film(s) you plan on utilizing. You can do it for short term or permanent load.

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.

And while I do agree that on principle it would make sense, the truth is that the thing that's REALLY expensive on the cloud is storage. You can get Amazon Web Services to scale easily the number of servers, but telling that each of those servers would have to be able to store and replicate several Terabytes of data would probably consume the budget for the whole archipelago quite fast. And it doesn't make sense to have several servers all going to the same storage server wherever they store all those images. Things that would make sense: 1. Allowing Familysearch to serve those images (pros: free, and no work necessary; cons: nobody would use the CCA servers ever again). 2. See 1., to be honest.

Likely cheaper and less of a maintenance hassle for the CCA admins.
