[TI] The Termini Imerese Certificate Database has been updated - July 27, 2008

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY - THERE ARE CHANGES TO THE FORMAT OF THE DATABASE

The Certificate Database has been updated today.

Please note:  The DATE format has been changed into Month Day Year with each being in a separate column.  This corrects the problems with the 1900 dates that were numberical instead of written out.  Now all three columns will only contain numbers.

There have been some problems over the last two days in the process of this updating as well as the website was moved to another server on the same hosting site which should increase the performance. 

With this new format, I will now be able to add new documents more frequently as soon as they become available to be added to the database.  I will now be able to change individuals entries for errors, misspellings, etc without going thru the whole process of reloading the whole database.  But I will only do this when I have several to change at one time.  

As always, you can always check http://www.termini-imerese.org/IndicesAvailable.htm to see what has been added to the database.

You will also notice, we are slowly closing the gap to getting all of the births, marriages and deaths transcribed. 

The following documents have been added to the database in this update:
