Just a general comment. I have found no subscription or site (Family Search) that has been helpful in searching records in the Acores. The only site I use for the Acores is the CCA and there is no magic bullet to find a particular record other than time consuming searching. These sites MyHeritage, Ancestry are useful in searching in the US and other countries where records have been indexed and so on. Another reminder that any trees or information that does not come from looking directly at a record is subject to errors and as such need to be verified.
Rick Richard Francis Pimentel Spring, TX From: azores@googlegroups.com [mailto:azores@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Tish M Sent: Tuesday, February 4, 2014 11:09 AM To: azores@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] ftDNA email about MyHeritage Thank you very much. I do have an Ancestry subscription. I thought it may be redundant. It would be hard to amass all the records Ancestry has. Family Search does a good job and has the resources to leave Ancestry in their dust.

I did find a family tree posted there that has a link to my family but the people never got back to me when I contacted them. I didn't find any records I couldn't access from Ancestry. But then I haven't logged on for months. If you already have Ancestry, don't bother. Of course, just my opinion!

I haven't looked in a while, but I think they were heavy U.S. records. Since I already have an Ancestry subscription, I passed on it.
