Hi all!
TLDR; I'm building an independent Maltese genealogical index and need help working out what records I should include and what should be added to the platform.
After spending a bunch of time building my own tree, I found that Malta's great because it has a bunch of images of historical manuscripts but it's been a pain to easily search. I know ancestry is working on uploading the Ġuljana Letard Ciantar collections but what about the ADAMI collection and so forth?
I don't know if it's just me, but I have found sites like Geneaum to be incomplete and because of how small the Maltese Diaspora is, larger platforms tend to not have such a comprehensive list of all of the records in Malta.
I've been looking for the parents of my 20x great grandfather, Clemente Azzopardi, and I haven't been able to find anything. In the images, I decided I'd just start transcribing names as I went along, and then over the past year I've ended up with hundreds of thousands of names.
I'm launching https://maltaroots.com soon, but I'm trying to understand a bit more about what you think is missing or what should be included? Feel free to let me know like:
- What collections do you want to be added?
- Are there anything that annoys you about Maltese genealogy?
Feel free to check out the project and let me know what you'd like to see!
