Thank you for sharing your indices with us. Indices are invaluable, but they
are compiled by human beings who are not infallible. The indices do provide us
with "shortcuts", that is, based on the information provided we can quickly go
to the records and verify the accuracy of the information provided in the
index. For me they are an invaluable tool. Even Ernesto do Canto, the father of
Azorean index compilers, made transcription errors in dates, names, places or
origin, etc. Still, whenever possible I turn to him as a starting guide. You've
done us a great service. Thank you.

As the person who provided the indexes for Graciosa. I will say this, indexes
should only be used as a guide. I made these for my own personal use and
thought others could benefit from them. I'm not offended by your words. Just
thought I should respond :0)

Kathy and Rosemarie,
I don't think there is any need to go on the defensive and I'm not here to make
suggestions on anyone's work. It was a mere heads up.
Cheers.

No, in a perfect world, tools such as these indexes would be perfect with no
inaccurate information.... no stumbling blocks, as you say. I have no real
control over the accuracy of any material that is submitted to me. That
includes previously published work and websitesI don't know the skill and
abilities of the person doing the work. All I do know is that someone did the
work and is willing to share it with others, like you..... to be helpful. I
have every reason to think that these submissions will be helpful to most
people.
Perhaps you should make your suggestions to the person who did the work?

I honestly don’t know the answer to your question. The indexes were submitted
to me and they were put on the Azores GenWeb as a TOOL to help researchers. I
would use them as just that, a tool or aid to finding your ancestors. If there
are errors, I’m sorry there are. But, honestly, most indexes, many online, have
errors in them. Thank you for pointing it out.
Kathy

Hi Kathy,
Thank you for the links. I can imagine how much work was put into this but
sorry for asking, were these indexes edited by someone who could proof for
errors?
I looked at the first and 2nd marriage record for Maia and the surname of the
bride is incorrect. The brinde on the first record is Francisca da Ponte and
the groom on the 2nd record is Manuel Pacheco, not Coelho. same for the
Groom's father.
Sorry but I thought you might like to know, since it's your webpage.
Take care,Margaret
