19th Century Palermo Parishes

Post by corrigandj »

Hello,

I have a basic question about life in Palermo around 1900. That is, where did the people living in the heart of the city go to church. The thought came to me as I attempted to check the parish records of Palermo for ancestry purposes only to find that there are hardly any records at all for the only listed parish "Santa Maria La Reale". That led me to question if that parish's records have been lost or that the actual residents of Palermo attended another parish? If anyone out there has had any luck with downtown Palermo church records, I would greatly appreciate some advice.

Thank you

Thank you Marty, I believe these records are unavailable on line. Is my interpretation correct?

Not all the church archives in Palermo were microfilmed. Those microfilmed are only a small part.
