Birth records for Schignano Italy

[tapeduzzi]

There are no records available past the middle 1800's for Schignano Italy. I have been told that is because of the Austrian-Hungarian invasion. Does that mean that the records are in Hungary, Austria or were destroyed? I am back as far as I can go with what is available and need to find out how to gain access to the records that have just seemed to have disappeared. Thanks for your help. Teresa

What do you mean when you say past the middle 1800's?
Some documents after 1866 are here:

I meant before 1850. Sorry for the confusion. teresa

Civil records for Schignano start from 1866.
If you need older documents, you have to turn to churches.
As Schignano seems to be a small village, this must be its Parish:

There's a phone number, but unfortunately not an email.
Also, their archive seems to be well organized, or at least there's an inventory:

Apparently, they should have records of the 1800's.
