Civil registration (''Zivilstand / état civil / stato civile'') is the government record of births, marriages, and deaths. These civil registers are kept by the local civil registration office (''Zivilstandsamt / service de l'état civil / ufficio dello stato civile'') of each political community. Beginning on January 1, 1876, the civil registration office kept two separate sets of books: '''A-registers''' (records of births, marriages, and deaths occurring in the community regardless of citizenship) and '''B-registers''' (births, marriages, and deaths of citizens of the community that occurred outside the community). In 1928, the B-registers were discontinued and officially replaced by family registers (''Familienregister / registres des familles / registro delle famiglie'') kept by the civil registrar, though in most places these were already being kept. | Civil registration (''Zivilstand / état civil / stato civile'') is the government record of births, marriages, and deaths.

By the 1820s, they were widespread in German protestant areas. They were kept by the local priest to keep track of all citizens (''Bürger'') of the parish regardless of residence. Some parish offices created non-citizen resident (''Beisass, Niedersass'') family books as well.<br> | ||
