==Church Records and Civil Registration (Registres Paroissiaux et Etat civil) Online==
==Resources==
'''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|'''France Civil Registration''']]. Additional instructions and practice activities are available:

'''Fortunately, these records are available online from the archives of each department:''' <br>

==Online Census Records==
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==
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.

==Microfilm Records of the FamilySearch Library==
*See [[France Census]] for more information.
The church and civil registration records have all been microfilmed. Currently, they are being digitized, and plans are to complete that project by 2020. Check back occasionally to see if your records have become available. In the meantime, some of them might be available at a [https://www.familysearch.org/help/fhcenters/locations/ '''Family History Center'''] near you. To find a microfilm:  Click on {{FHLPlace2|81226|France|Ariège}}, find and click on "'''Places within France, Ariège'''," and choose your locality from the list.


==Writing for Records==
===Church Records===
Online records tend to cover only the time before 100 years, due to privacy laws. You can write to civil registration offices and local churches who might honor requests for more recent records of close family members for the purpose of genealogy. <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>
