Registros de Censo estão indisponíveis online, somente sendo possível ler nos computadores dos CHF.
Poderiam liberar online para pesquisas durante o período de quarentena?

This question has been asked many times. There is now a banner at the top of some pages of the FS website that explains that because of contracts with record custodians and commercial partners, these restrictions cannot be lifted without the consent of these organisations.

FS would need to sign temporary contracts with record custodians in order to be able to relax restrictions during the pandemic. This might be possible for a few large record sets, but it would take years of negotiations to do this for all records that can only be viewed at FHCs and/or Affiliate Libraries. Last week Ancestry.com made a deal with the United States National Archives that means 500 million records are now free during the pandemic, so there is hope that FS could something similar.

Last week the Internet Archive did a similar thing to what you are asking FS to do when they made many digital books and literature available for free until the end of the pandemic. Immediately, the authors and copyright owners angrily objected to their property rights being violated. The Internet Archive could face lawsuits and huge financial losses as a result of this decision. FS would face similar consequences if they made records only accessible at FHCs/Affiliate Libraries available to everyone at home without the permission of record owners.

Firstly, "Welcome" to this "FamilySearch" ( "GetStaisfaction" ) 'Feedback' Forum.

Secondly, "Official 'FamilySearch' Representatives", do monitor; and, sometimes, participate in, this Forum.

Thirdly, I am just another User/Patron, just like yourself (and, happen to be a Member of the Church).

Many Users/Patrons who regularly participate in this Forum who have a great deal of knowledge and experience with "FamilySearch", like to assist/help other Users/Patrons like yourself; as, evidenced by the previous response.

Finally, further to the previous response:

You are not alone ...

Please refer to the following post in this "FamilySearch" ("GetSatisfaction") 'Feedback' Forum, of 12 Days ago, by "FamilySearch" ...

Requests for access to records during temporary closings

Thank you for your inquiry and suggestion. We have had several requests in this regard as a result of the temporary closing of our Family History Library and family history centers due to COVID-19 precautions. Due to contractual obligations, we unfortunately cannot offer expanded external access to records restricted to family history centers and affiliate libraries. We apologize for this inconvenience.

In the meantime, we encourage you to explore the vast record collections that are available on FamilySearch. Millions of new indexed records and images are added weekly. And if you haven’t used our new Explore Historical Images tools, you might be surprised at the potential discoveries you can make in our growing unindexed image collections.

We appreciate your patience, loyalty, and support,

FamilySearch Support

Plus, here is that 'Banner' that is referred to in the previous response:



And, here is a "Knowledge Article" in "FamilySearch" on the matter:

I know that this does not help; but, I hope it puts things in perspective ...
