A List of Churches

Post by Repetto »

Hi, I am going to Camogli to stay with my new found relatives. Thanks to Italian Genealogy. I would like to know were I can get a list of churches in the area on-line. I want to find the Birth, Death and Marriages of my Great G Grandfather and his wife etc..
Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks

Catholic churches (Chiesa cattolica) in Camogli:

http://www.paginegialle.it/pgol/3-Camog ... 54100/l-2?

However, for these documents, you really want to visit the comune's "Stato Civile" or Anagrafe office.

Comune web site: http://www.comune.camogli.ge.it/hh/index.php (for a rough translation, go to http://translate.google.com/ and paste the previous url into the text box.

Click the Chiese link on the right for additional information on the various churches.

The Ufficio dello Stato Civile is located in the municipal building at No. 1, Via XX Settembre. They have an email address, demografici@comune.camogli.ge.it The person in charge is Carla Campodonico. Telephone: 0185 729050 Fax: 0185 775092. Have one of your relatives telephone in advance to find out the days and hours the office is open; Italian government does not follow the routines typically found in the US. :)

When requesting documents, remember the following:

Birth/marriage/death photocopies of original registry pages are called: Copia integrale dell'atto di Nascita/Matrimonio/Morte. These are more difficult to read but contain lots of additional useful genealogical information as compared to...

Birth/marriage/death computer-generated (sometimes hand-written) extracts are: Estratto Per Riassunto Per Atto Di Nascita/Matrimonio/Morte
Carmine

My hobby is finding things. Having found most of my own, I am happy to help others find theirs. PM me! :)
