Part of the information used by ItalianSide in genealogy research derives from a proprietary archive of on-site research conducted over many years in Ciampino 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.

• civil records
• parish registers

Civil Records (Stato Civile) in Ciampino

In the areas of Lazio that were part of the Papal States, including Roma 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 Ciampino starting from those years (the exact starting year can change from town to town).
