==Census Records==
The French attempted 19 census of the area between 1830-1962, however these censuses provide more information for the Europeans living in Algeria than the native population. The last census while Algeria was under French rule was in 1960.
There were other censuses created in 1966, 1977, 1987, 1998, and 2020. These documents include information about:
*Name

Historical Background

Registry of Births, Marriages and Deaths for less than 100 years is kept by the French Ministry for Foreign Affairs – Central Department for Births, Marriages and Deaths.

"From 1830 to 1962 the so-called European civil status registers were established in two copies.... When Algeria gained independence, these registers remained in Algeria.... The Ministry of Foreign Affairs undertook between 1967 and 1972 the reproduction on microfilm of part of these registers, approximately two-thirds. Some municipalities are missing altogether and others are incomplete. At the request of the Algerian government, the acts concerning the natives were to be concealed during the microfilming. These microfilms have been digitized. On the initiative of the Ministry of Culture, an alphabetical base of acts from 1830 to 1904, with names and surnames, was established in 2003, which facilitates access to digitized images."[1]
