Record Description
The collection consists of of civil registration (stato civile) of births, marriages, and deaths within the custody of the State Archive of Biella (Archivio di Stato di Biella). Includes supplemental documents (allegati); residency records (cittadinanze); and marriage banns (pubblicazioni). It generally covers the years 1803 to 1815 and 1838 to 1942. 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.
