Summary of Italy Gen Webs Volunteer Needs.

For a list of Unhosted Regions/Provinces or Comuni Please see here

This is the correct page if you are interested in the possibility of hosting a Region, Province or comuni website, but you want some more information. The most common question is:
What do I have to do? First I have to answer that with what you need:

Once that is set up, all you need to do is to create a page that deals with Genealogical information about your chosen Region, Province or Communi.
It might include such things as:

You may want to have a look at the other Country home pages to get a better idea.

If you need any tips on writing HTML documents, there is help on Rootsweb.
Here are a few helpful links, which have many more helpful links:

What are my responsibilities?
They are quite simple. You would provide your e-mail address on your page as a contact person for people who have questions. A little background or general interest in your province helps.

You could maintain a Query page this is very simple. A person fills out a query and hits the submit button. All you need do, is to periodically maintain the mailing list.

But I'm not really an expert on genealogy nor on this area,
and I don't speak Italian. Can I still do it?

Do not let this prevent you from trying. You may not be an expert, but you can not become one either if you don't practice it! There are plenty of people associated with this Italian Genealogy site who know Italian, so you may always ask them for help. And with the contact you will have with the people asking you questions about the Italian areas, you will learn more than you ever thought you might, and you might be surprised at how much you already know. You may be more of an expert than you think! So give it a try! If you would like to volunteer for a Province or have if you have few more questions, please contact me and be a part of an already great team of hosts.

If you are still reading and thinking seriously of trying this please do. Your help will be appreciated.
Thankyou,
