The Catasto done in Montalto began in late 1748 and was completed in March 1749. All people living in Montalto during this time are contained in the Catasto. Please note, anyone living in Vaccarizzo was not included in this Catasto. The Catasto was done as a tax record and includes all members living in a household and things they had they were taxed. For example olive trees that derived an income from it's bountry would have been taxed. I am working on indexing all the names in the Catasto so you can find a name and view the page about that person by clicking the link. Until I complete that, you may view the entire Catasto by clicking the link: Catasto of Montalto.
Church records of baptism are available here for the years 1746-1912. These records are beautiful, high resolution photographs from the original church registers from the Santa Maria La Castagna section of Montalto Uffugo. Please note that during this time frame the frazione of San Sisto (of San Vincenzo La Costa) had citizens who attended church at Santa Maria La Castagna in Montalto (Uffugo was added to the town name after the unification in the 1870's). People from those areas attended these churches.
Extractions of deaths of soldiers born in Montalto Uffugo are available here. They were kindly extracted from the Military Archives by Riccardo Bruno.

I have just begun to add some processetti records. Processeti records are documents required by law to be collected prior to a marriage. The documents vary by circumstance, however, they alwaus include either a birth act or baptism record of the bride and groom. Other documents that may be included are death acts of prvious spouses, death acts of parents and/or grandparents and various other documents depending on the circumstances.
A page will be dedicated to a each couple featured. The page will provide a brief description of each record in that record set with a hypertext link to a copy of the original document. You can view the inddex to these records here
