If you know where your ancestors came from in Belgium, you are in for a real treat because civil registration began around 1795-1796 while under French rule. This was also a period of administrative reorganization. Prior to that time, the Parish Registers, which were maintained in duplicates by the priests, served as Civil Registers. | If you know where your ancestors came from in Belgium, you are in for a real treat because civil registration began around 1795-1796 while under French rule.
