Some French families have produced histories or newsletters that may include genealogical information, biographies, photographs, and other excellent information. These usually include several generations of the family. | Some French families have produced histories or newsletters that may include genealogical information, biographies, photographs, and other excellent information.

The | The FamilySearch Library has only a limited number of published French family histories and newsletters. These are listed in the Surname section of the FamilySearch Catalog. Not every name found in a family history will be listed in the catalog; only the major surnames discussed in the family history are included. | ||
Unpublished family histories are sometimes found in the possession of private individuals in France. These persons may have collected a variety of records about their own families. But such materials are accessible only by contacting the appropriate individual. Local genealogical societies can often help locate such collections. | Unpublished family histories are sometimes found in the possession of private individuals in France.
