I’m pleased to announce the completion of the indexing process of the non-catholic civil registers of Livorno (1818-1865)!
The work took really a long time (almost a year) and a great effort but is now complete in its 15898 single entries that represent a total of 3628 family names. I believe that the registers for which these indexes were made are of the greatest importance for Livorno but also for a much larger audience given the fact that so many non-catholics were living in Livorno, coming from all over the world. Additionally these records include, and are composed mainly of, Jewish people. As everyone is aware of the importance of the Jewish community of Livorno, these records can depict the family networks of all these people for a period just short of 50 years across the 19th century.
If you didn’t follow the other posts about this subject, please take a few moments to read the introduction to these records. On the same page you will find the links to access the indexes. ( EzVN8HdtkCV5rZrTWIbp )
I just wanted to thank you personally for your dedication to this task. Indeed it opens up doors that would have remained shut for aeons more until someone of your passion and calibre came along. You have now provided a key for many people all over the world who have absolutely no chance of visiting/ or researching Livorno on an individual basis. I think I speak for others too in wanting to share our gratitude and letting you know how valuable this work of yours is to us.
Thank you very much Claire, much appreciated!
