Vital Records from Trentino on Microfilm

The Mormon Church (LDS) has microfilmed the birth, death, and marriage records for many of the Trentino villages. The filming, in some cases, extends back to the 1500's. Many of the earlier records are written in Latin, and may be difficult to read due to damage to the originals and old-style handwriting.

There are branch Family History Centers located throughout the US and in many foreign cities. For information on locating a Center near you and how to obtain the microfilms, visit www.familysearch.org.

Below is a partial listing of filmed village records. If the village in which you are interested does not appear here, and you would like to know whether the records for that town has been microfilmed, send me a note with the town name (include surnames if you wish - I am always interested in surname locations).  The records of some villages may be spread over many films, while some films contain the records of more than one village.

Always search the films for towns surrounding your town -- there may be a surprise! For example: the microfilm catalog shows that records for the village of Segno's is available only from 1923 forward. However, in viewing the film for the town of Torra, I noticed that records for Segno were included from the 1600's, but not listed in the catalog. This was due to Torra being the "mother church" and record-keeper for Segno. Also, the films for Caldes includes the records of the village of Bozzana.
