French Notaires and Notarial Records from The French Genealogy Blog

Auteur

Anne Morddel has spent many years in researching American seamen who were prisoners of war in Napoleonic France and has compiled a database of over 1500 of their names. This booklet is a result of the specialized research skills acquired in the process. Her articles have appeared in "Napoleonic Scholarship" and other publications.

Texte du rabat

This booklet contains twenty-two posts from the first eight years of "The French Genealogy Blog" on the subject of genealogical research using French notarial records. Some new material, including a glossary of notarial terms, has been written exclusively for this booklet. It follows on our first publication "French Genealogy From Afar", which explains the basics of French genealogy and without which this booklet may seem a bit confusing.
