Hermano,
That's only what exists for Canto. Ponta Garca has an index created by who
knows in the 1980s. Ribeira Quente has a marriage index in the Insulana
book (it's a series). Fr. Joe Viveiros made a whole Gedcom that serves as
an index for the Carlos Machado genealogies. And a bunch of us have made
our own indices for the freguesias that we research the most.
I really ought to start a thread, round up people, and figure this out.
Maybe after Salt Lake though. My plate should be more clear by then.
