Sao Miguel Marriages

[Rosemarie Capodicci]

Hi all,

I just received this email with info about, I think, the Azores Govt. trying to raise $$ to index all of the marriages of Sao Miguel. Would a native speaker/reader please look at the site and tell us what is going on?? If they are going to do the job, there is no reason to try and get everyone else to do bits and pieces but I don't know what the plan really is?

Thanks,

Rosemarie,

They’re advising the plan to index and bring together all already digitized indexes like Madeira island is now possible due to the historic interest expressed in roots tech.  Yes it looks like they will do it all for the island of Sao Miguel up to 1920.

I recall something about the governor’s wife taking over indexing on her terms. Joao Ventura had the info and shared it with the recent workshop in Escalon.  He may know more.

OK, this explains when I met with Mike Hall from Family Search and he said that they are negotiating with the Azorean Government BUT they WON'T allow indexing. OK, so I see they want to do it themselves. The announcement, however, is just that. They aren't saying if they need volunteers or money or money yet.

Thanks, Margaret

I did Google Translate and did get the gist of the email. Are they trying to collect $$ for the project though and who is going to index?

It’s nothing, Rosemarie.

No, the budget was approved by that amount.  Take a look at the check mark on the box for the “approved” near the top for the island of Sao Miguel. 

 

It says the indexation for the island of Madeira was a success under the leadership of an Acoreano which seem to indicate this project might be under the same /similar leadership under the execution/direction of BPARPD.

Thanks Rosemarie for finding this. I think it would be great if they would do it and find the funding for somebody(s) to transcribe as it’s a huge job. But... I don’t want to discourage our group from doing some now because of a couple reasons. 1. Who knows if they will even get the funding. 2. Even if they got funding, what is the ETA? And last, I would hope they could use our index’s and maybe save time and money. Honestly I think they should use us as volunteers as we all owe them a huge thanks! The majority of sites (Scotland, England, Irish etc) all charge a ton of money for access to their records. If I were Scottish it would cost me a small fortune lol😀 The sites that charge have a searchable index, so it’s possible that if this costs them money, they may adapt to a user pay system to access their records. They may charge for searching and records, no more freebies. Just a thought...

[Rosemarie Capodicci]

I see, Margaret! Well I just hope they get it going. I don't have any Sao Miguel ancestors (as far as I know!) but what a boon it will be for all Sao Miguel researchers!!
