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

Italy

What is in the Collection?
This collection of civil registration (stato civile) of births, marriages, and deaths within the custody of the State Archive of Agrigento (Archivio di Stato di Agrigento). Availability of records is largely dependent on time period and locality.

This collection also includes:
 * Marriage supplemental documents (processetti)
 * Supplement documents (allegati)
 * Indexes (indici)
 * Diverse records (atti diversi)
 * Residency records (cittadinanze)

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.
