*'''Archives''' collect and preserve '''original documents''' of organizations such as churches or governments. '''Libraries''' generally collect '''published sources''' such as books, maps, and microfilm. | |||
*'''If you plan to visit a repository, contact them''' and ask for information about their collection, hours, services, and fees. Ask if they require you to have a reader’s ticket (a paper indicating you are a responsible researcher) to view the records, and ask how to obtain one. | |||
*Although the records you need may be in an archive or library, the [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog '''FamilySearch Library'''] may have microfilmed and/or digitized copies of them. | |||

===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> | |||
For a civil registration office, address your request to:<br> | |||
Monsieur l'officier de l'état-civil <br>Mairie de (Town) <br>(Postal code) (Town) <br> | |||
For a parish church:<br> | |||
Monsieur le Curé<br> | |||
(Church --see [http://www.thecatholicdirectory.com/directory.cfm?fuseaction=show_country&country=FR The Catholic Directory] for church name and address)<br> | |||
(Town) (Postal Code) France<br> | |||
