What to Search and Where

There are many different kinds of documents stored in Italian local archives so the research could focus depending on your needs.
You could start from Civil Records available usually from about 1800 , then you could go back in time with Church Records (till 1500!).
Are you curious about your ancestors as …soldiers ? Well you could search for Military Records!

And if you want to know more about their way of living you can dig into Notarial Records too (going back till the middle age!)

Our researchers are ALL skilled and with an university degree in historic field so they know exactly what archives are available in every single village. We will research your family history in Italy providing great results and a correct interpretation of the info found.

What you will get after a genealogy research with ItalianSide

You will receive copies of the available original records where you will read many info about your Italian families. For example: full names, dates of the main events occurred ( birth days, marriage and so on) or their jobs. ( here you can see a sample of an Italian old birth record )

Then you will find the addresses of the houses where your family lived in the village.

A great info if you plan to come to visit your ancestors town.

But even from home you could try to locate the exact house using online maps!

And last, but not least, if your ancestors were able to sign you will read on these documents their original signatures too!

In case your goal is to receive modern certificates for other purpose (e.g. dual citizenship), procedures are quite different (take a look here).
