*One of your eventual questions is whether the church records you seek have been microfilmed or digitized by FamilySearch.  You can just by-pass all this geography and jump to checking to see if FamilySearch has the records.  If the town is a parish, it might show up immediately in that system. Occasionally a town will show up listed under the parish that has it records. Go to [https://www.familysearch.org/catalog/search  '''the FamilySearch Catalog'''] and enter the name of the town in the "Place" search field.  If there is an item there for any town of that name, the catalog will bring up a list, automatically adding country and province information.
