Questions About Riveli

Post by BrunoC »

I am doing research on my Family who comes from Monte San Giuliano (Erice) near Trapani.
I am interested in the Riveli for the 1811-1817 period and it appears that there are 21 films for these Riveli.
7 for 1811
3 for 1815
10 for 1811-1816
and 1 for 1816-1817.
1. Has anyone already consulted these Riveli and can tell me if they are interesting?
2. Does someone know what is the difference between 1811 and 1811-1816 riveli?
3. Does these riveli include the documents called "stato delle anime"?
4. What about beginning with 1815 riveli?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Bruno.

Riveli for 1811-1817 are less useful than those for 1748 and previous, because don't contain informations about the household but only the description of the properties. For further informations about Riveli please read here

Hi Marcelo!
I finally ordered to FamilySearch the riveli of Salemi from 1607 to 1748 (I will work on Monte San Giuliano at a later stage) and I confirm that they are exceptionnaly interesting documents.
Anyway, the microfilms of 1681 contains 3 items and 2 of them are related to another city called Sutera and the 3rd one has a poor set of records that are readable with a great difficulty.
So I have 3 new questions:
1st) Do you know if the original registers in Archivio di Stato di Palermo for Salemi 1681 are complete and if it is an error from Family Search when copying and indexing their films?
2nd) I read on your site that riveli for 1569 and 1593 exist. Family Search didn't made microfilms for these years. Do you confirm that they exist for Salemi?
3rd) Do you know if the riveli for 1569 and 1593 describe the same kind of interesting information than the ones made in 16.. and 17..?
Thanks in advance
Bruno Catanese.
