Have you tried to access the Portale Antenati lately? I was using it every day recently, but since Wednesday, April 30, it has not been available. Do you have any clues? I was in the middle of some wonderful discoveries about my ancestry and this is very frustrating! Thanks.
They are likely uploading new images. They tend to take the site down over a weekend to do this.
There are currently 15 different sections of the city of Naples which have been uploaded. Is that the entire city? If not, approximately what percentage of the entire city of Naples does this represent?
Thank you.
