The recent acquisition of the French website, Filae.com (See MyHeritage to Acquire Filae) has apparently resulted in MyHeritage.com adding millions of French records to their website. The new records consist of the following from an emailed announcement.
- France, Church Baptisms and Civil Births with 154.4 million records.
- France, Church Marriages and Civil Marriages with 125.3 million records.
- France, Church Burials and Civil Deaths with 149.1 million records.
- 1872 France Census, taken in the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War and consisting of 16.4 million records from 67 French departments.
- 1906 France Census, consisting of 17.6 million records from 63 departments in France. Paris is not included in the 1872 and 1906 collections, as census taking in Paris only began in 1926.
The total of the records added is 463 million records, this brings the total number of records on the MyHeritage.com website to 76 collections with 516,214,971 records.
These additional records help to consolidate MyHeritage.com as the leading genealogical database program for European records.
