Update on FamilySearch and Italian Records
Joel Cole, FamilySearch
Joel Cole will give us an exciting “Update on FamilySearch and Italian Records.”
Joel is a project manager for FamilySearch, with a deep knowledge of Italian records. He will provide an overview of the principal repositories of Italian genealogical and historical records throughout Italy, including the latest updates and developments on the FamilySearch website, recent developments in FamilySearch’s collaboration with the Direzione Generale Archivi (DGA) and other Italian institutions.
We’ll take a look at expectations regarding Italian records, including upcoming acquisition initiatives and the availability of new indexes and searchable collections. Join the IGG in September for this talk.
See you on Sept 12, 2026
