Hello everyone, I'm happy to announce that last week, I made available the http://tombo.pt website. The objective of this site is to make it (a lot) easier to access the Portuguese parish records.
Among other features: - List of new parish books from the previous day. I just enabled it to also search the Azores automatically, so disregard the São Sebastião date. - Simple browsing via District -> Municipality -> Parish. Do note that I'm using the 1911 districts, so the Azores districts are: Angra do Heroísmo, Horta and Ponta Delgada. - Merging the books of different archives into the same parish. Not applicable to those researching in the Azores. But it may be a revelation for those searching in mainland Portugal: some of those 'lost' books are actually in Lisbon. - Search capability (search for the parish, and with a bit of luck the site will list it). The site is still under development, but from now on, it's only new features or cosmetic changes (the site's style is still a bit raw). Happy researching, Joao C.
