FAMILY HISTORY RECORDS
Historical State of the Family or Stato di Famiglia Storico

If you are searching for information on your Italian family, the most useful document is the stato di famiglia storico (historical state of the family), which contains both parents and children with complete birth, marriage, and death information, including also those who died or moved away. We obtain this certificate from the Ufficio di Stato civile (Office of Vital Records) of the town or city; however, these records are not complete for periods before 1911, which means that they have to be constructed, researching each birth, marriage, and death record separately.

The cost of this record is based upon the number of family names @ €25,00 each. Costs will range from €200,00 to €300,00.
A deposit of €150,00 is required.

This is the information that can be gathered from these records:
  • Full name of the head of the household
  • Full names of all members living in the same household
  • The relationship of each member to the family
  • Civil status
  • Place of birth
  • Date of birth
  • Sometimes, the number, part and series of the birth act is also indicated

Sometimes, you can find additional information such as the name of the father and the mother for each person listed and the profession as well. Moreover, there can be a section called annotazioni (notations) where events such as the death date or the migration date can also be mentioned.

We will not start the process if we see that there is no chance to get the certificate because the information is obviously incorrect. For example, the name of a commune that does not exist or other information we know is incorrect.
