  • Archives collect and preserve original documents of organizations such as churches or governments. Libraries generally collect published sources such as books, maps, and microfilm.
  • If you plan to visit a repository, contact them and ask for information about their collection, hours, services, and fees. Ask if they require you to have a reader’s ticket (a paper indicating you are a responsible researcher) to view the records, and ask how to obtain one.
  • Although the records you need may be in an archive or library, the FamilySearch Library may have microfilmed and/or digitized copies of them.

Record Offices[edit | edit source]

Civil registrars, who are the only authorities empowered to draw up birth certificates, include prefects and sub-prefects; mayors, borough mayors and their deputies; and the heads of diplomatic missions or consuls and their deputies (Civil Code, part 1, article 157) In civil registry offices, the vital events are recorded in a large-format book with detachable sheets. The three sections of the book are divided as follows: one is kept in the office for archives, the second is sent to the clerk of the court, and the third is given to the declarant.[1]
