A civil record unique to Italy is the | A civil record unique to Italy is the ''Stato di Famiglia'', or state of the family certificate. The comune keeps a record of each family and updates each change, including births, marriages, deaths, and emigration. All individuals in a household are included. Some households include more than one family. Some municipalities cease to document a family after its emigration, whether to another Italian community to another country. In some cases, the partial documentation of an emigré family is destroyed upon notice of emigration. | ||
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 localities have kept the ''Stato di Famiglia Storico'' records, but where they exist, they are a valuable research tool. | |||
