Romania Guardianship Records

Guardianship records
Guardianship records (tutori) began being kept in 1648. They document the assignment of a guardian to an orphan or someone whose legal status is unclear. They are important in establishing parentage for orphans, as well as residence and origin of the orphan. Guardianship records are estimated to cover some 5% of the general population.
