My mother was born in Orasul Iasi. We are planning to visit in September this. I don't know where to get information on his family as I have limited details myself. Particularly looking for church record birth, marriages death etc.
I hope someone can guide me
Thanks Kris.

Hello Kristina,

These records are maintained by the Directia Locala de Evidenta a Persoanelor (DLEP) section of the city hall (Primaria), not the church.

Here is the link for the Iasi offices

Hello again Romaniac,
I just accessed the site, unfortunately all in Romanian. Do not speak Romanian. Are there agencies that can obtain information for me. Can you tell me if Orasul is a village. Iasi seems to be a very large city.

Thanks again... Kris

Orasul mean "City of". Yes, Iasi is a fairly large city (pop ~400,000). I am not aware that there are any agencies that assist with this. Your likely possibilities are to hire a Romanian lawyer to act on your behalf, or visit the offices with a translator or trusted Romanian speaker.
