All parish and civil records from before 1832 held by the Archives Départmentales were burned in the bombing of Orléans in 1940. The only existing copies are the ones held in the communes. The Départment is scanning them and will gradually make them available online, completing this task in 2016.<br>

===Search Strategy===
*Search for the relative or ancestor you selected. When you find his birth record, search for the births of his '''brothers and sisters'''.
*Next, search for the '''marriage of his parents.''' The marriage record will have information that will often help you find the birth records of the parents.
*You can '''estimate the ages''' of the parents and search for their birth records.
*Search the '''death registers for all family members.'''
*Then '''repeat the whole process''' for both the father and the mother.
*If earlier generations are not in the record,''' search neighboring parishes. '''
