A workflow for this portal
Choose municipality, register type and period in AGATHA. Compare the index with the register and record repository, reference, page and entry number.
Access and copies
Index, image and certificate are separate services. Check coverage, any account requirement and copying costs on the official page.

What you can research here
The State Archives separate archival search, genealogy sources and record analyses. Notarial minutes, censuses and court archives can also help; useful holdings depend on the repository.
Prepare a focused search
Find the document and reference behind each name result. Identify the holding repository and inventory before travelling. A contributor’s record analysis does not replace reading the record.
