The Family History Library has microfilmed civil registration records from about half the departments of France to the 1870s, and some departments up to 1890. Most of these records are from the northern, eastern, and southern areas of France. Fewer are from central France. | The Family History Library has microfilmed civil registration records from about half the departments of France to the 1870s, and some departments up to 1890.
