Cousin Vinny

Lots of new additions to FamilySearch in the past couple of weeks, including AI-indexed church records from the Dioceses of:
- Napoli
- Grosseto
- Piazza Armerina
- Firenze
- Caltanissetta
- Como
- Trapani
- Potenza
- Ivrea
- Foggia-Bovino
- Vercelli
- Palermo
- Torino
- Acerra
- Biella

https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/list?ec=region%3AItaly%2CplaceId%3A1927178%2Cregion%3AContinental+Europe&fcs=placeId%3A1927178&count=20&offset=0

You can sort the list by date last updated to see recent changes.

Use the AI indexes with caution and don't completely rely on them. There are many spelling errors especially with the Latin. Also use your own eyes.

FS users can correct the indexing (and you should if you find an error)!

Note also that in some cases the images are not freely available online and must be accessed from a FS Center or FS Affiliate Library.

Finally note that the indexing is in process and is by no means complete.

I'm not seeing these as indexed. For example, this collection (https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2043557) appears as having been updated on 2024-10-09 after being online for many years. Where did you find this collections interface anyway?

Cousin Vinny

Not all the updated collections have been indexed. I only listed church record collections which have been AI indexed. Civil record collections like the Castrovillari tribunale collection may have had a small number of records added (you can find details on the FamilySearch blog on their monthly update posts). Also, the catalog has not been updated in some time and will not be updated until the new version of the catalog is released.

The collections interface is accessed from the main record search page (browse all collections).

In Abruzzo, Aquila do you know when we will get more records? Right now most if not all go only to 1865. Thanks in advance!
