Over the years, ItalianSide has conducted genealogy research on historical families from Cori, involving many surnames traditionally found in the town, including branches of the following families: Ceracchi, De Angelis, Bianchi, Pietrosanti, Balestra, Cioeta, Corbi, Moroni, Battisti, Alessandroni, Lucarelli, Della Vecchia, Ricci, Agnoni and others.

Many records relating to families and individuals are already stored in our databases and include, in addition to names and dates, further information such as occupations, residential addresses, and key family and social relationships within the Cori community in past centuries.
Part of the information used by ItalianSide in genealogy research derives from a proprietary archive of on-site research conducted over many years in Cori and by our experts. This archive includes studies, family trees, and data not available online, such as cross-referenced family relationships, occupational histories, deciphered or translated documents, residential patterns, and visual documentation.

Research activities may include all major sources available at municipal, provincial, and regional level:
• civil records
• parish registers
• notarial archives
• military records
• historical and photographic sources
Direct access to archives and a deep understanding of the local context allow for more complete and accurate results than research conducted remotely or based on partial sources alone. Research may be carried out using all available sources in both public and private archives.

Genealogy in Cori

If your ancestors came from Cori, in Latina province (Lazio region), the first step is to identify the local archives where records are kept. Most family history research starts from the civil registry office at the Comune and continues in parish and notary archives.

Where to begin your ancestry journey in Cori

Vital records for people born, married or deceased in Cori are usually preserved in:

• Cori City Hall archives: civil records (births, marriages, deaths) from 1809 onwards.
• Cori parish churches: in Lazio religious registers, which can often take your research back to the 1600s and sometimes as far as the 1500s.

Civil Records (Stato Civile) in Cori

In the areas of Lazio that were part of the Papal States, including Latina province, civil registration offices were gradually established during the 19th century and after Italian unification. This means you can often find your ancestors’ civil records in the Town Hall archives of Cori starting from those years (the exact starting year can change from town to town).

This means you can often find your ancestors’ civil records in the Town Hall archives of Cori from that year onwards.
