+<span style="color:darkviolet"> You will probably need to write to or email the national archives, the diocese, or local parish priests to find records. All early registers were sent to Nikosia to be centralized there at the Ministry of Interior registration office. Check carefully with the Cyprus Research Center in Nikosia for materials in their Archbishopric Archive. Originals or transcripts of church records are likely kept there. This archive also holds the registers of marriage licenses and registers of names of monks and peasants relating to the Archbishopric. Parish registration notes may be in local parishes. Church records of the 1900s are likely to be in the local parishes or diocesan offices.
