| In 1852 due to rapid urban development round the edge of Lyon, (Isère) 4 communes were transferred to Rhône. In 1967 the redrawing of local government borders led to the creation of the Urban Community of Lyon. At that time intercommunal groupings of this nature were not permitted to straddle departmental frontiers. Most recently, on 1 April 1971, Colombier-Saugnieu was lost to Rhône.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Isère," ''Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isère (accessed October 30, 2018).</ref> | | In 1852 due to rapid urban development round the edge of Lyon, (Isère) 4 communes were transferred to Rhône.

| 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>

| ==Search Strategy== | |
| | |
| * Begin with the death information of the focus ancestor and locate the death record.<br>
| |
| * Use the information on that death record to locate the ancestor's marriage record.<br>
| |
| * Use the information on that marriage record to locate the ancestor's birth record.<br>
| |
| * Once the birth record is found, search for the focus ancestor's siblings.<br>
| |
| * Next, search for the marriage of the focus ancestor's parents. The marriage record will have information that often helps locate the birth records of the parents.<br>
| |
| * Search the death registers for all known family members.<br>
| |
| * Repeat this process for both the father and the mother, starting with their birth records, then their siblings' births, then their parents' marriages, and so on.<br>
| |
| * If earlier generations (parents, grandparents, etc.) do not appear in the records, search neighboring parishes. It is possible they may have moved or boundaries changed. <br>
