Sounds like the FOIA form G-639 will no longer be required. There currently is no index and it sounds like you have to search there yourself (unless you know a researcher in that area). Note the 100 year rule (it's 2009 so the person's DOB needs to be 1909 or earlier) and new ones will be released in batches every 5 years (just like the Azores). -- Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
