Records of births, marriages and deaths created and maintained by civil government are called civil registration (''stara civilă''). Such records are an extremely reliable source for studying families and relationships. Civil registration was introduced into Romania (Wallachia and Moldavia) by official decree in 1865. The Hungarian provinces of Transylvania and Banat began in 1895. In Bukovina, Bessarabia and Dobruja civil registration was not introduced until 1919. | Records of births, marriages and deaths created and maintained by civil government are called civil registration (''stara civilă'').
