In earlier years, separate registers were maintained for baptisms, marriages, and burials. However, towards the end of the 17 century the entries were generally intermingled. Entries were made in chronological order, with the records being written in Latin. Confirmations were not consistently recorded. Toward the latter half of the 19th century, pre-printed forms began to be used with the date and names written in by the officiating priest.

In 1539, François I issued the edict of Villers-Cotterêts, which required the Catholic Church to record baptisms. The Pope mandated that records be kept in 1563. In 1579 the edict of Blois required the church in France to register marriages and burials. In 1667, the Code Louis required that two copies of the registers be kept, with one deposited at the bailliage. Most parishes covered a single town or village. Large cities normally had multiple parishes.

French Catholic parish registers were created to record the church’s sacraments of baptism, marriage, and burial.  
In August 2010 the first online records were published for the collection comprising parishes beginning with letters A and B. The following parishes are included:
*Argol
*Arzano
*Audierne
*Bannalec
*Brest-paroisse-Notre-Dame-des-Carmes
*Brest Hospice Civile
*Brest-paroisse-Lambézellec
*Brest-paroisse-Saint-Louis
*Brest-paroisse-Saint-Martin
*Brest-paroisse-Saint-Pierre


French Catholic parish registers are extremely reliable sources for French family history.<br>
Further revisions to the collection will follow as other parishes are published in future.
