Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Ancestry request

[pat_frade]

Rosemarie, you will have to show me in August when we meet. They may have 
digital copies, but I do not know if they are searchable. I haven't had the 
time to do any, but I know people who volunteer. They get a file, say 20-30 
names at a time, and they read the record and on another screen they type 
in names, dates, places on this form, which they submit, and that makes it 
searchable. So then someone like me can go to ancestry and type in Frade 
Manuel and it will bring up everyone with that name. I bet we could get 
someone from the FHL to show the group. I think it you saw the potential 
you might be amazed. I believe they are trying to make all records more 
accessible for people, especially to those who can't read the language.
