Italy, Ravenna, Civil Registration, State Archive - FamilySearch Historical Records

Title in the Language of the Records
Italia, Ravenna, Stato Civile (Archivio di Stato)

Record Description
The collection consists of of civil registration (stato civile) of births, marriages, and deaths within the custody of the State Archive of Ravenna (Archivio di Stato di Ravenna). It generally covers the years 1806 to 1813. However, the availability of records is largely dependent on time period and locality.

The civil registration records are an excellent source of accurate data on names, dates, and places for genealogical research in Agrigento. However, before 1860, when civil registration became law for the entire country, it is suggested to research the church records.
