This collection of parish records includes baptisms and marriages only. About half to two thirds of the volumes are self indexed, some are indexed by the Latinized version of the first name. The earlier registers were usually written in Latin, but a few priests chose to write in Italian or a dialect. Preprinted forms were not available until after about 1810, and use of the forms varied from region to region. The majority of parish registers are free-form, handwritten records.<br> | This collection of parish records includes baptisms and marriages only.

After the death of Pope Clemente VII, leaders of the Catholic Church realized there was a need to reform and standardize certain doctrines and practices. All church leaders, including bishops from all the dioceses in Europe, were called to a council in the city of Trent on December 13, 1545. After many stops and starts, protests, and suspensions, the reforms of the Council of Trent were adopted. One of the mandates was that every parish priest would keep a record of each parishioner’s baptism, marriage, and death. This mandate was passed in January 1564, but not every parish complied immediately, even though every diocese had to ratify and comply with the council’s reforms. In fact, the reforms were not universally accepted before 1595, when a papal proclamation was declared. Most Catholic parishes in Italy will have records dating from this time if the register books have survived. Copies of these records were not regularly sent to the diocese until about 1900, so most parishes will have their records stored at the parish church. Occasionally the original register was deposited in the diocesan archive. | After the death of Pope Clemente VII, leaders of the Catholic Church realized there was a need to reform and standardize certain doctrines and practices.
