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.

Information Provided: Names of widows, children, deceased parents, guardians, and witnesses. Also includes dates of birth and age, death dates, residences and economic status.

Location: Regional archives of the Romanian National Archives

The Family History Library currently does not have any Romanian Guardianship records.
