Finances Of All Saints Church In Rome, Robert William Gibson

Accounting Historians Notebook

The history of All Saints tells us that minute books and registers have survived from the first church. The register of services kept weekly and even daily since 1881 in the vestry of the two successive churches provides much information. The registers of baptisms, marriages and burials date from December 1825. The story of how these records survived two world wars is a romantic story of the courage and initiative of a trio of English matrons who had long resided in Rome with their Italian husbands.
