Military Conscription Records ['''registro di leva'''] list all males by year of birth and provide the name, parents’ names, place of residence, birth date and place, vocation, literacy, and physical description. They also show the draft board’s decision regarding the draftee’s fitness for service. If the draftee had emigrated, the date and destination are noted.

*Most Italian emigrants were from southern Italy and settled in New York, Chicago, and along the East Coast. Many emigrants from northern Italy settled in the coal and mineral mining towns across the United States. Other northerners later settled in northern California where a climate similar to their own existed.
*The Anglo-Italian Family History Society has [http://www.anglo-italianfhs.org.uk/transcriptions/census.htm online transcriptions of Italian names]&nbsp;in the 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1891 England censuses.

Jurisdictions[edit | edit source]

Regions[edit | edit source]

Italy is subdivided into 20 regions (regioni, singular regione). Five of these regions have a special autonomous status that enables them to enact legislation on some of their local matters, and are marked by an asterisk (*). It is further divided into 109 provinces (provincie) and 8,101 municipalities (comuni). Records are kept at the town level.
