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.  FamilySearch also has an Italian genealogy word list available giving English translations of words commonly found in Italian documents and church registers (pdf format).

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.
