Ardèche Department

History

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.

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.^[1]

-*Search for the relative or ancestor you selected. When you find his birth record, search for the births of his '''brothers and sisters'''.

-*Next, search for the '''marriage of his parents.''' The marriage record will have information that will often help you find the birth records of the parents.

-*You can '''estimate the ages''' of the parents and search for their birth records.
+Privas<br>
-*Search the death registers for all known family members.

-*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.
