The Italy, Napoli Civil Registration, State Archive collection is available to the Family History Library, FamilySearch Centers, and to members of the supporting organization, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The images are also available to all viewers at Il Portale Antenati (Ancestors Portal).
