France, Haute-Garonne, Toulouse, Civil Registration, 1792-1893

What is in This Collection?

This collection consists of civil registration of the town of Toulouse, Haute-Garonne, France. It includes births, marriages, and deaths from the (Archives municipales de Toulouse) Municipal Archives of Toulouse. Records may also include marriage banns. Banns were a means for the Catholic Church to give anyone a chance to legally prevent a marriage that might be invalid. These records are primarily in French, but some may also be in German. This civil registration gives records of vital life events of citizens and residents within the French government. To better understand these records, two phrases to translate would be arrondissement, which means "municipality," and type de registre et l'année, which means "record type and years." Haute-Garonne is named after the Garonne River that flows through the southwest department of France. Its main city is Toulouse.
