==Historical Background==
==Background==


Records of births, marriages and deaths created and maintained by civil government are called civil registration (''starea civilă''). Civil registration began as early as 1865 in some regions in Romania. These records are an extremely reliable and valuable source for studying and linking families and relationships; they are the most important genealogical source from 1865 to the present.
