Catasto Onciario Preliminary Acts

Population census data

Each property owner had to give details about family, property and debts. These were initially recorded in the atti preliminari for the cadaster. On the first page of Lionardo Popoli's information the third person is used to refer to his family relationships. This section was compiled by an official committee. The second page is written in the first person, though not by Lionardo himself as he signs with a cross being unable to write.

The property section is much more detailed than the cadaster entry, and reflects information given by the owner before selection for the purposes of the official register. The family data has a cross-reference to the 1752 State of Souls register, a copy of which is retained with the cadastral archive and seems to have been used in the compilation.

At the end of this page there are links to other records relating to this family, one of which is the Catasto Onciario itself.
