Before 1539, many church records are in Latin. In 1539 French was made the administrative language of France through the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinance_of_Villers-Cotter%C3%AAts Ordinance of Villers-Cotterêts]. As a result, there is only the occasional Latin word or phrase in church records after 1539.<br> | |||
