Family Genealogy – Genealogy tree and ancestor research in France
When we speak of family genealogy, we naturally think about the creation of a genealogical tree that includes the names, first names, dates and places of birth or death of its ancestors. This is, of course, one of the services I offer as a graduate professional genealogist.
But genealogical research makes it possible to go far beyond a simple tree. Thanks to the wealth of ancient archives, it is possible to accurately reconstruct the life course of one of your ancestor:
If the person did military service,
Or if she has any judicial convictions, with possible stays in prison or in bagne
His level of fortune,
Its special role in the municipality (Mayor, municipal councillor, consul, marguillier, etc.),
His successive places of residence,
And even his physical appearance in some cases.
This information, often unsuspected, enables names and dates to come to life and places your ancestors in their social and historical context.
As a professional and expert in genealogy in France, I offer my expertise in archives research to help you:
- Reconstitute a complete family tree
- Tracing a person's life
- Find traces of an ancestor soldier, prisoner, bagnard, sailor, noble etc.
- Understanding the standard of living and social status of your family
- Etc
Here is where I conduct my research mainly:
I know exactly what archival holdings are available according to the times, places and types of documents. I work in particular with:
* The communal archives
* The departmental archives
* National archives
* The National Overseas Archives (ANOM)
* The diocesan archives
* Historical Defence Services (HSD)
and many more.
Please contact us to discuss your research. Each request is subject to a personalized estimate.
