Italy Civil Registration: Difference between revisions

Some church records were transcribed into civil registration records. This transcription usually happened to meet documentation requirements for marriages [''processetti or allegati'']. Transcribed church records are in Latin, and each volume is usually indexed.

Birth records generally give the child’s name, sex, birth date, and birthplace, and the parents’ names. Many of the early records and all of the later records provide additional details, including the parents’ birthplaces, ages, and occupations and the mother’s maiden name. The baptism date is usually included with the civil birth record.
