From 15th January 2007, the computerized indexes
of PROCIDA and ISCHIA
have been imported into a database accessible using a new search engine.
- The
members of
the Association, up to date with their membership, are able to
access the database through authentication, update their user
profile, order certificates online and check the status of your
previous
orders.
-
Visitors may
continue to view the contents of the indexes and see by themselves
the amount of work carried out so far by the Association.

How your orders
are processed:
Your orders of certificate are processed in chronological order
and response time may vary depending on the availability of our
volunteers and the number of orders received (usually
from 2 to 3 weeks).
The cost of your
orders (certificates and translations) will be automatically withdrawn
from your current certificate balance.
You will receive via email a digital
copy of the entire certificate extracted from the photo of the page of
the register. The translations are provided in PDF format (Adobe
Reader).
On reception of the certificates, it is your interest and responsibility
of making regular backups on external storage media (USB, CD-ROM or other).
How to obtain a transcription and translation of a
certificate:
Understanding the certificates may be sometimes a difficult task for
several reasons: lack of knowledge of the Italian language, writing,
abbreviations of the names, religious formulas in Latin or expressions
taken from the local dialects.
To help you read and understand your certificates,
please find some samples of transcription and translation of
certificates for Procida, as well as some guides and Web sites that may
help you.
If you are still unable to understand a certificate, you
may order its transcription and translation. The Association offers
a translation service carried out by our volunteers. Tariffs vary
depending on the type of translation requested.
Two types of translation are
possible:
-
Simple
translation, including only the essential
information (names, date, place, and any other useful
detail that could be found).
-
Translation with
transcription of the
record
(only those in Italian and after 1700). The record is
fully transcript and translated.
Privacy
In conformity with
current legislation, the records of less than 75 years old are not
available on line and you can only request the certificates of your
relatives in the context of your genealogy.
