'''Contracts [contracts de mariage]''' are documents created for the protection of property. These are notarial documents. Sometimes the marriage certificate will show the name and town of the notary who wrote the contract and the date it was written. But these contracts are not usually on microfilm at the Family History Library and are not always deposited at the departmental archives. They may have remained in the office of the notary's successors. | '''Contracts [contracts de mariage]''' are documents created for the protection of property. These are notarial documents.
