Re: [GRN] Document services (those who wanted the contact)

 Dear John,
I agree with you. Having the books with you helps a lot. When I was researching 
the artist F. N. Souza's birth records, I accidentally came across his sister's 
records, and I could see clearly the various relationships and connections. I 
did this through the Mormon archive of Goa records. (Scanning techniques have 
improved considerably though since the Mormon's scanned the Goa records which 
are not easy to decipher on the microfiche. I think latterly they're available 
online.)
Take care,Selma

Hi Selma
 
  
 
In working on one’s family tree this kind of service works sometimes, but not 
others.
 
In cases where one is looking for records on specific people it is pretty good 
and beats having to travel to Goa just to get what you need.
 
In my case as I wanted to build my tree backwards (to find my ancestors) and 
then forwards again (to find my current day relatives) I needed to see the 
books, locate potential records of interest, translate the key elements on the 
spot and log them in a notebook. Then I came back home and created the tree. 
This I did over 2 visits and made notes on 250 records.
 
  
 
Somehow the Archives let the Mormons take pictures of baptisms/marriages/death 
records (by book page) for ever village from 1914 to around 1980. In Dec 2015 
they digitized the photographs and put them online.
 
It would be good if the same could be done for records going back. The money 
can easily be raised, but it needs the will in the part of the Archives.

The researcher has located the records I needed and applied for a copy of them. 
All receipts associated with the cost of this search were emailed to me. I 
found the rates to be very reasonable and the response time professional. Hope 
this helps.
 
  
 
All best,
 
Selma

So how does a private entity (without even a name mentioned on the 
websitehttps://goadocuments.com/) manage to offer access to so many government 
documents, old Portuguese passports from Goa,matriz records, property title 
documents, property surveys, property identification by owners, notarial deeds 
for properties, oldpara viagem documents ... which are next to impossible to 
come by in the normal course in today's Goa? FN

Dear Frederick,

What do you propose I do? Run a criminal police check on the man? How about
electoral fraud or tax evasion? The man provides a service. In my opinion he
charges a nominal fee. If he delivers you continue with the relationship. If
not you move on. That is how capitalistic relationships work, isn't it?

Honestly, I find this Goan penchant for conspiracy theories quite exhausting. I
realise it's a sort of cultural thing. Every Goan has a conspiracy theory. They
are very suspicious of everyone and everything except their politicians and
homeopaths. Those they trust profoundly.

This is the reason I didn't want to share the contact.

All best wishes,

Selma

Better to check credentials before sharing. Sometimes one comes across agents
who help in corrupting the system while acting as if they are offering
"solutions". The land sector too is full of such types. Part of the game can be
to make the official system "unworkable". FN
