HOW TO FIND YOUR ANCESTORS IN FRANCE
I. Genealogy Publications
Many French family genealogies have been published. The three-volume directory by Colonel
Arnaud, Répertoire des généalogies françaises imprimées (Directory of printed French
genealogies), published in 1980, lists all the descendants and genealogies for at least three
generations published in books or journals indexed in the Bibliothèque Nationale (National
Library). The said "Colonel Arnaud" series includes 73,000 names representing
approximately 350,000 families (try at www.amazon.fr but this source is difficult to find).
Another source outlining these genealogies is the series of volumes by Gaston Saffroy,
Bibliographie généalogique, héraldique et nobiliaire de la France, des origines à nos jours imprimés et manuscrits (Bibliography of genealogy, heraldry and nobility of France from its
origins to today, printed and in manuscript). This can be found second-hand - a precious
source, but quite expensive.
During the years 1987-1988, two other books were published by the Archives Nationales de
France (National Archives of France) : the Guide des Recherches sur l’Histoire des Familles
(Guide to Research on Family History) and Les Familles Protestantes en France (Protestant
Families in France), both written by Gildas Bernard.
A final book, currently out print, is La Généalogie, Histoire et Pratique (Genealogy: History
and Methodology) by Joseph Valynseele, published by Larousse (try at www.amazon.fr).
Starting from each reference in the series by Colonel Arnaud, it is possible to find the
corresponding items in libraries or on those internet sites that offer review of scanned
documents, such as Gallica (http://Gallica.bnf.fr), Internet Archive (http://archive.org) or
Geneanet (for a paid subscription). "Google Books - (Advanced)" provides book excerpts
from key words, including surnames or family names.

II. Genealogy research via the internet
The Internet also allows access to many genealogical sites.
- The most commonly used website (with free access to all the information provided by its
membership) is http://www.geneanet.org (English available). It contains exceptionally rich
information on the majority of French families. Nearly one billion individuals are listed on
this site. But, as always, one must verify the data by finding the original documents.
- The website at http://www.geneabank.org (in French and English, via paid access) allows
you to search millions of surnames or family names on the databases of regional genealogical
societies, organizations, or associations. Searches can be undertaken for the entire of France,
or by specific regions, making use of the databank of over 71 million records collected.
- The Bigenet website at http://www.bigenet.fr (40 million records, via paid access) offers
similar resources, but based on parish registers and civil or marital status records. These
sources cover only about half of France’s departments.
- Lastly, traditional search engines, including www.ancestry.fr (via paid subscription),
provide access to rich genealogical data. Your research becomes all the easier if the
surname/family name being researched is rare and/or when a specific question is asked.
III. Genealogy research based on records (scanned or otherwise)
In France, the records of modern civil or marital status (starting from 1792 on) are not
reportable nor searchable until they are at least 100 years old, and then only by decade.
Therefore, for the periods of 1792-1902, and soon for the period of 1902-1912, the records
relating to civil/marital status have already been forwarded to the relevant departmental
archives. As a consequence, the "archives départementales" is where you should look first.
You will find in annex 1 a short description of the administrative structures in France and
their evolution since 1790.
The municipal civil/marital status records are very complete, except for the Paris region
(where the records were burned in 1871 during the Paris Commune, with prior records only
partially restored), and except for some other communities, victims of one, or the other, of the
two world wars, and of other disasters.
The baptismal, marriage and death records, run by Catholic parishes until 1792, have existed
since the mid-sixteenth century (in theory, since the Ordinance of Villers-Cotterets of 1539),
and they are very complete from the year 1640 onward. Most are written in French, but for
more ancient times, it is still common to find records written in Latin. These records are all
held in the Departmental Archives of each corresponding parish.
From 1792 onward, however, we can still find "acts of catholicity" because churches have
continued to maintain their records, mainly of baptisms and marriages, even if the state keeps
the official records. One should directly contact the respective parish for additional
information.
In some regions of France, but quite rarely, some Protestant registries have been preserved.
Even fewer Jewish registries or records have been maintained. For these two religions, it is
2|13
best to research through specialized associations (such as www.huguenot.fr, www.huguenotsfrance.org, www.shpf.org for the Société de l’Historie du Protestantisme Française (Society
for the History of French Protestantism), www.refuge-huguenot.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr for le Refuge
huguenot, as well as the Cercle de Généalogie Juive (Circle of Jewish Genealogy) at
www.genealoj.org (in English or French).
Notarial Archives are available and researchable under the same 100-year conditions. Almost
all documents prior to 1792 and many subsequent documents (contracts, inventories, leases...)
have been turned over to the Departmental Archives (the "E" series).
A monumental project of document scanning has been undertaken in France for twenty years,
and almost all the France departments have scanned the totality of the parish registers or
marital status documents. They can be accessed online in a simplified way through a search
engine, by typing in the letters AD followed by the department name or number - for example
AD14 to access the departmental archives of Calvados, in Normandy.
The same holds true for the resources held by the Bibliothèque nationale (National Library,
the site Gallica as noted above) and the Archives nationales de France (National Archives of
France) at www.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr, including the Archives d’Outre-Mer
(Archives of Overseas Territories). Departmental archives offer many additional resources
other than marital status, such as old real estate registries, census data, military drafts or
conscriptions, legal proceedings, etc. Frequently they have been scanned, and all are relevant
documents that are useful for genealogy research.
For French ancestors who emigrated to French Canada, visit www.archivescanadafrance.org,
where many documents have been scanned and are available online.
IV. Volunteer genealogy
The French are becoming more and more interested in their genealogy. There are more than
150 "circles" or genealogical "centers" (affiliated with the Fédération Française de Généalogie
(French Genealogy Federation website at http://www.genefede.org). For the most part, they
publish newsletters where subscribers can ask questions and receive answers. These
organizations are national, regional or thematic in scope. A sample list is provided in annex 2.
Generally, one must become a paid subscriber in order to have access to their databases.
Numerous associations and blogs have also been created whose objectives are to reconstruct
both ascending or descending genealogies, from the patrilineal descendant line or otherwise,
and whether purely French or not. These are based entirely on volunteer efforts and on mutual
assistance. The research within these sites can be made only from the surname or family name
being sought, and thus it is not possible to establish an exhaustive list.
For non-French speakers, be sure to have on hand a good bilingual dictionary - many are even
available online - in order to pursue the most thorough searches possible within the French
sources.
Lastly, it is possible to make use of professional genealogists. However, as you can imagine,
these services are not free of charge.

Evolution of French departments
There are currently 101 departments in France, 96 departments in metropolitan France, and 5
th
overseas departments. These modern departments were created on March 4 , 1790, as a
replacement of the Ancien Regime provinces, and with a view to strengthening national unity. Almost
all of them are therefore named after rivers, mountains or coasts, rather than after the historical or
cultural territories of the Ancient Regime. Paris, for instance, is in the department of the Seine. The
number of departments, initially 83, had increased to 130 by 1809 with the territorial gains of
Napoleon. Following Napoleon’s defeats in 1814-1815, the Congress of Vienna returned France to its
pre-war borders, and the number of departments was reduced to 86. Throughout the subsequent
centuries, through wars and colonizations, France both gained and lost a number of departments,
finally resulting, in 2011, in the current 101 departments.
The department is an administrative division, one of the three levels of public government below the
national level. For what matters here, the Département has the responsibility of archives. It is therefore
important to know to which department you should turn for your genealogical records, knowing that the
names of the French departments have evolved over time and with changes in the limits of the French
territory.
