| 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>
