[AZORES-Genealogy] LDS Family History Library Resources
Does anybody have any experience using the microfilms available through the LDS Family History Libraries? I have gone through the records available online at the CENTRO DE CONHECIMENTO DOS AÇORES and recently an online database at Núcleo de Estudos de Populaçáo e Sociedade, Instituto de Ciéncias Sociais, Universidade do Minho, but Ineed to find records that are not available at those websites. For example, a birth in Horta 1885 and a marriage that took place in Lajes do Pico in 1877. According to the LDS website, there are films covering Horta during that timeframe, but do the films contain images of the original documents (like the CCA site)??

Lester, If you are talking about S. Salvador, they have baptisms up to 1888. You will need to order the film through your local Family History Center (FHC) and view it there. The film is a microfilm image of what you see on the CCA web site. The digital is clearer, but until the CCA gets to your freguesias, you'll have to use the film. Probably the same for Lajes do Pico, too.
