Ellen, The CCA seems to have their own timetable on getting Parish Records online. It may be next week that yours comes on or it may be a year from now! You have to just keep checking the site. They seem to start with one Concelho and a time and go alphabetically within it but who knows?

[AZORES-Genealogy] Name Spelling Standardization

2010-06-20 Thread Jesse Pacheco
Hi I was wondering if there was a general consensus on what to do with names with variations/different spellings (this is almost all of them!). For example, I have a Helena in my tree and I also have an Elena. I know these are technically the same name but the spellings have been different.
