__TOC__


Step 1. Choose an ancestor you would like to know more about. What new information would you like to learn about that person? <br>
== Record Finder Table for France ==
The following Record Finder table assists researchers in determining record types that may list the information they are looking for.
=== Order of Records ===
The typically most reliable sources are listed at the top of the list. However, depending on the time period of the record and location, multiple records in the list may need to be searched to achieve the objective. Alternative records are listed as well in case traditional records do not provide the desired information.


Step 2. Look at the Record Finder below. It will tell you which are the best types of records for that information.
== List of Topics ==
 
This Record Finder table links to the France topic Wiki pages, containing databases and other information about accessing the records.
*In column 1 find the goal you selected.
===Vital Events ===
*In column 2 find the types of records most likely to have the information you need.
{| width="65%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1"
 
Step 3. Read the FamilySearch Wiki articles about those types of records. <br>
 
Step 4. Look in the FamilySearch Catalog and choose a specific record to search. <br>
 
Step 5. Search the records. If you do not find the information you need, return to column 3 and try those records. <br>
