Does anyone know why the "Western Ukraine Catholic Church Book Duplicates of Metrical Records" in Family Search have been down since October 28th?
Those who have ancestors from the ancient kingdom of Austrian Galicia (Lwów region) certainly use the digitalized records available on Family Search for research (the Greek Catholic Ukrainian Church made a copy of most of the Roman Catholic Church books in the 19th century). However, since the 28th of October these records are inaccessible and the system indicates that there is an error in its access (without informing further details). I have already tried to contact the family search but they inform that they are really with an error and is being checked, without further clarification.
Would anyone know if the Historical Archives of Ukraine (at Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in L’viv) has terminated the agreement allowing Family Search to display these records online? Is anyone else having the same problem? Does anybody know if there is another place to search for digitized copies of the Ukrainian Historical Archives?

Hello Hugo!
Have you tried accessing the records in a round about way, using the Catalog rather than the Western Ukraine Catholic Church book Duplicates of Metrical Records?
You can access the catalog at https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog. Just type in the name of the parish/location and press enter. Then select church records and select the religion you are looking for. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you should see the film numbers and then some icons to the right. If there is a camera icon, that means that digital images are available online. If there is a key above the camera, that means the records are viewable, but with certain restrictions (usually need to go to a Family History Center to view them).
Let me know if you are able to access the records that way. If not, I know who I can ask to find out if the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine has adjusted their contract.

Hi Ellie!
It worked! really thanks for your support!
Also somebody from Family Search probably read my post and solved the error (the link in my main post is working too). It seems it was something simple to solve that was more than 1 month inaccessible, unfortunetly.
Thanks Again
Hugo Lopes
