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

*See [[France Census]] for more information.
 
*Follow these steps for [http://archivesenligne.archives-isere.fr/mdr/index.php/rechercheTheme/ '''Department Archives of Isère''']<br>
 
#Click on the link above and the '''CONDITIONS DE RÉUTILISATION DES DONNÉES PUBLIQUES''' page will appear.
#Click '''J'ACCEPTE CES CONDITIONS''' to accept the conditions and a small pink pop-up box will appear on the next page.
#Select '''ETAT CIVIL''' and you will be allowed to access the civil registration records by commune search.
 
 
 
==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''']].
Here is the website for the '''Department Archives of Isère''', where you will find these records.<br>

#Click on the link above and you will be allowed to access the census records by commune.
 
==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==
Many church and civil registration records have been microfilmed. To find a microfilm:  Click on {{FSCPlace2|94957|France|Isère}}, find and click on "'''Places within France, Isère'''," and choose your locality from the list.
 
==Writing for 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>

Before 1539, many church records are in Latin. In 1539 French was made the administrative language of France through the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinance_of_Villers-Cotter%C3%AAts Ordinance of Villers-Cotterêts]. As a result, there is only the  occasional Latin word or phrase in church records after 1539.<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>

Isère Department

History[edit | edit source]

Isère is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on March 4, 1790. It was created from part of the former province of Dauphiné. Its area has been reduced twice, in 1852 and again in 1967, on both occasions losing territory to the department of Rhône. In 1852 due to rapid urban development round the edge of Lyon, (Isère) 4 communes were transferred to Rhône. In 1967 the redrawing of local government borders led to the creation of the Urban Community of Lyon. At that time intercommunal groupings of this nature were not permitted to straddle departmental frontiers. Most recently, on 1 April 1971, Colombier-Saugnieu was lost to Rhône.[1]
