SEARCHABLE RECORDS
Introduction
During the past 10-15 years, the
personnel of the Historical Archives of Argostoli have worked very diligently to
organize and catalogue records previous to the year 1932. They have done, and
are continuing to do, marvelous work.
It is necessary to understand that a search can be carried out only in the
historical records that have been catalogued. In the near future, more records
will be catalogued, and therefore, become available to the family historian.
However, at the present time, there are many records available on the basic
information that family researchers require.
Below, is a list of the available catalogued records with dates and location.
Omitted dates represent records which were lost in fires or earthquakes.
