Former Provinces
'''Some genealogy records are filed and organized by province. Others are arranged by prefecture.''' The provinces of Greece ("eparchy") were sub-divisions of some of the country's prefectures. From 1887, the provinces were abolished as actual administrative units, but were retained for some state services, especially finance services and education, as well as for electoral purposes. The provinces were finally abolished after the 2006 local elections, as part of the wide-ranging administrative reform known as the "Kapodistrias Project", and replaced by enlarged municipalities (demoi).
