Generally, at the end of a civil register there is an alphabetical index by surname; however, not all years are indexed for each record type. Most records follow a generally accepted format, which is handwritten in narrative style and in later years in formatted records. Some of the original records were damaged due to natural elements; therefore, some information may have been lost or hard to read, but for the most part the records are readable. The text of the records is in Italian with some Latin included. This collection may be searched by browsing images in FamilySearch Historical Records. | Generally, at the end of a civil register there is an alphabetical index by surname; however, not all years are indexed for each record type.

In 1804, Napoleon initiated the process of keeping civil records. These records do not exist in areas where the Emperor did not rule. After his defeat in 1815, many areas discontinue civil registration. Italian civil registration began again officially as Italy became a unified country in 1860; however, in some areas it did not start until 1866. By law, the original registers were kept by the municipality (comune), and a copy was sent to the courthouse (tribunale). | |||
