Repost for Mary Herzog, herzogm at pacbell.net <<Rosemarie, I just checked the FamilySearch catalog and am glad to see that there are some records from the Azores but they are not restricted to LDS members, rather they are restricted by where one can access them. The little key symbol over the camera symbol simply means that they can only be viewed at a Family History Center or an Affiliate Library. Many libraries such as the Napa Valley Genealogical Society library in Napa, California have become Affiliate libraries as the availability of Family History Centers has shrunk. When you are in one of these facilities, using their computers, you will not see the key symbol and the records will open just like any other record. Mary Herzog>>
