'French national censuses have not been microfilmed and are seldom used for genealogical research. Unlike the censuses of the United States, Canada, or Great Britain, they cannot be easily used to locate families. Because French censuses are not indexed, it is not easy to find a name in them. Church records and indexed civil registration are better sources.' http://tinyurl*com/94hpj http://www.cyndislist*com/france.htm http://genealogy.about*com/od/france/ (replace asterisk with dot) |
