Sorry Joao,
If I researched on islands other than Sao Miguel I would be in a better position in remembering to make note of it and praise it. I am glad you have pointed this out as it is a good site and does not want your credit card.

But still, even though it's not a magic bullet, it's still worth the shot. And I second your opinion. The ultimate reference (short of time travel) are the parish records in the CCA. NEPS is just a pretty good index to those. João Ventura http://tombo.pt On Tuesday, 4 February 2014 18:56:17 UTC+1, Richard Francis Pimentel wrote: 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.

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.
