Known Issues
Question #1: When searching São Paulo, Aracá, Óbitos 1916, Jan-1917, Jan, I found that it does not contain Óbitos (Deaths) but contains an ĺndice de Óbitos (index to deaths). Are death records available online for 1916? Answer #1: The original records of this collection were recorded in digital format, therefore there is no microfilm.

Question #2: The ĺndice de Óbitos for São Paulo, Aracá for the time frame of 1916, Jan – 1917 Ago are missing. Is this index available? Answer #2: Óbitos 1916, Jan – 1917, Jan. was mislabeled. It is actually an ĺndice de Óbitos for the listed dates. The index for January - August 1917 is listed as ĺndice de Óbitos 1917 Jan – Ago.

Question #5: In the file São Paulo, Aracá there are many instances in the ĺndice de Óbitos where the images from the back side of the page are missing. Are images of the back side of these pages available? Answer #5: The camera operator digitized fronts of pages, then backs of pages, but created separate image files, instead of combining them into a single image file. Images 1 -35 are of records on the right side of the ledger. Images 35 – 55 are images from the left side of the ledger. Both sections are in alphabetical order. All of the pages were copied but they are not in front then back order.
