Research in French Municipal Archives

This booklet contains twelve posts from the first six years of "The French Genealogy Blog" describing visits to various municipal archives around France, with discussions of some of the unique documents found there. An appendix gives an explanation of the organization of the records in France's municipal archives. It follows on our first publication "French Genealogy From Afar" , which explains the basics of French genealogy, and without which this booklet may seem a bit confusing. It is our most sincere wish that you, Dear Reader, would find it of use in your preparation and planning of your own visits to France's archives.
