The Veneto
Venice, Padua, Verona, Vicenza, Treviso, Belluno. Which empire held this ground in which years — and, the part that matters, which archive that means.
Whose archive this ground was
| Years | Who held it | Whose archive that means |
|---|---|---|
| 1406–1797 | Republic of Venice — the Terraferma | Antenati · FamilySearch Venice took Treviso and Bassano del Grappa in 1339; the fall of the Carrara of Padua is dated 1406. |
| 1797–1806 | Austria — Venetia (Treaty of Campo Formio) | Antenati · FamilySearch · ANNO — Austrian Newspapers Online The Treaty of Campo Formio gave Venice to Austria on 17 October 1797. |
| 1806–1814 | Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy | Antenati · FamilySearch Gained by the Treaty of Pressburg of 26 December 1805; Venetia's annexation was announced on 30 March 1806 and ratified on 1 May. |
| 1814–1866 | Austria — Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia | Antenati · FamilySearch · ANNO — Austrian Newspapers Online The kingdom was formally established on 9 June 1815. Venice was an independent republic from 22 March 1848 until Austria retook it on 24 August 1849. |
| 1866–2026 | Italy — Veneto | Antenati · FamilySearch The Treaty of Vienna of 12 October 1866 ceded Venetia to France, which handed it to Italy on 19 October; a plebiscite on 21–22 October confirmed it. |
The rings are approximate — deliberately. They exist to shade which filing system a place fell under, not to adjudicate a border. A place near a ring's edge should be checked against both neighbours.

The map takes a range, and a range that crosses one of the rows above is where records get lost: the family never moved, and the archive on the far side of the handover will tell you it holds nothing.
