Historical states of the family [''stato di famiglia storico''] are kept at the provincial archive [ufficio dello stato civile]. These records document past generations of families. Not all areas have kept this record, but where they exist, they are a valuable research tool. | Historical states of the family [''stato di famiglia storico''] are kept at the provincial archive [ufficio dello stato civile].

Civil registration records were and are kept at the local registrar’s office [''anagrafe''] in each town or city. Therefore, you must determine the town where your ancestor lived before you can find the records. Your ancestor may have lived in a village that belonged to a nearby, larger town. Large cities may have many civil registration districts. | Civil registration records were and are kept at the local registrar’s office [''anagrafe''] in each town or city.
