Marital status
The State Archives of Rome holds the following civil status fonds:
– Napoleonic Civil Status Acts (1810-1814) : consisting of civil status acts of Rome and its district, and a small appendix of parish books (1565- 1849) that arrived at the State Archives along with the rest of the fonds.
– Civil Status of Rome and Province (1871-1929): the fund was disbursed by the Court of Rome in several tranches in 2006-2007 and consisted of Italian Civil Status records (birth, death, marriage, indexes) related to Rome and the municipalities of the Province.
Due to lack of space in the State Archives repositories, the records were outsourced to the company Iron Mountain and stored at a repository in Aprilia where in 2011, due to a fire, all the records were destroyed. To remedy this loss, the ‘Family Search’ association launched a digitization campaign in 2015 to digitize the ‘first originals’ kept in the municipalities of the Province of Rome.
