The Italy, Trento, Diocesi di Trento, Catholic Church Records collection is available to the Family History Library, FamilySearch Centers, and to members of the supporting organization, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These images can be viewed at a FamilySearch Center near you.

Record Description
The collection consists of civil registration (stato civile) of births, marriages, and deaths within the custody of the State Archive of L'Aquila (Archivio di Stato di L'Aquila) for the years 1809-1865, 1911-1943. Also includes ten-year indexes (indici decennali); residency records (cittadinanze); marriage banns (notificazioni o pubblicazioni); supplemental records (allegati); marriage supplements (processetti); miscellaneous records (atti diversi), etc. Availability of records is largely dependent on time period and locality. Records included in this collection coincide with the modern-day provinces of L'Aquila and Rieti. Images for this collection were mistakenly made available to the general public who registered on this site. Because of the agreement signed 30 June 2011, the publication rights of images belongs to the Italian National Archives (DGA) who publishes them freely to all on their Portale degli antenati.
