Makes perfect sense.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Anyone researching Guido's of Oakland?
You posted this almost seven years ago so I don't suppose you are around much to answer. My name is Carolyn Guido. I am the daughter of Manuel George Guido (b. 1/27/1924, d. 1/4/1992) and Barbara Olive Nickel. My grandfather was Manuel Joseph Guido married to Wealthy Balcom Guido in 1921. My father grew up in what is now not so good of a neighborhood in Oakland California down near 4th Street. Dad has been gone for over 20 years now. Growing up he didn't speak about his family much. My mother's side of the family tree is well documented. I am trying to find out more about Dad's side.

Cheri, Thank you for adding that. I assumed if they offered free access that they would offer it to all. My bad! I checked several sites that are talking about it (including their Facebook page) but couldn't find anything stating it was limited to US. Worth a try... I posted the question on their Facebook page.
