Kristie, The CCA is the government site that house all of the actual documents: Baptisms, Marriages, Deaths of all of the Azore Islands. It has been down all weekend but hopefully, it will be back up soon! When you use the site for Pico and Faial (CITCEM) you still must verify what you see with the actual docs (CCA site). You really need to go to the Azores GenWeb site, here: http://www.worldgenweb.org/azrwgw/ and read the research helps. Where do you live? I live and work in CA, and I volunteer at the Monterey Family History Center on Tuesdays from 1 to 4pm. So, if you or anyone in the area needs help, please come and I will help you!
