Administratively, Bulgaria is divided into twenty eight districts. Each has an archive where civil registration and some church records are preserved. A few parish registers have been gathered into state archives or the national museum. Most church records are still located at the churches and may also be in monasteries. There are no vital records in the National Historical Archive in Sofia. Some pre-1872 registers are in Greece because during this period the Bulgarian Orthodox Church was subordinate to the Patriarchate in Greece. | Administratively, Bulgaria is divided into twenty eight districts.
