==History==
{{Click|Image:France_ORP.png|France Online Genealogy Records}}
As a result of the reformation of John Calvin in Geneva, Ardèche was one of the areas which strongly embraced Protestantism partly as a result of missionary activity of 1534. The Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 outlawed Protestantism. During the French Revolution, in 1789, with the Declaration of Human Rights, Ardèche Protestants were at last recognized as citizens in their own right, free at last to practice their faith. <br>


== History  ==
Named after the river of the same name, the Ardèche was one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on 4 March 1790.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Ardèche," ''Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardèche (accessed October 30, 2018).</ref>
Ardèche is a Department in the south-central France named after the Ardèche River.  Created March 4, 1790, it was formerly part of the ancient province of Vivarais. It is bordered by Gard, Lozère, Haute Loire, Loire, Isère, Ardèche, and Vaucluse.

== Church Records and Civil Registration (Registres Paroissiaux et Etat civil) Online ==
'''The vast majority of your research will be in church records and civil registration.''' For more information on these records and how to use them, read [[France Church Records|'''France Church Records''']] and [[France Civil Registration- Vital Records|'''France Civil Registration''']]. '''Fortunately, these records are available online from the archives of each department:''' <br>
[http://archives.ardeche.fr/Accueil/Consulter_les_archives_numerisees/Registres_paroissiaux_et_d_etat_civil/Etat_civil '''Ardèche Departmental Archives''']


See [[Using France Online Department Archives|'''Using France Online Department Archives''']] for step by step instructions on finding and reading these records.
==Resources==
==Online Census Records==
===Census===
Census records can support your search in civil and church records.  They can help identify all family members.  When families have similar names they help determine which children belong in each family. See [[France Census|'''France Census''']].

==Online Local Databases and Extracted Records==
===Compiled Genealogies===
Groups devoted to genealogy have also extracted and/or indexed records for specific localities, time periods, religious groups, etc. Since church records at the departmental archives are generally not indexed, you might find an index here that will speed up your searching.

==Learning to Read Enough French to Do Genealogy==
===Court Records===
It's easier than you think! You do not have to be fluent in French to use these records, as there is only a limited vocabulary used in them.  By learning a few key phrases, you will be able to read them adequately.  Here are some resources for learning to read French records.

*[[French Handwriting|French Handwriting]].


There is a three-lesson course in reading handwriting in old French records:
