France Project > France Orphelin Trail
Welcome to the France Project's Orphelin Trail!
With this trail, we are going to work together on improving orphaned profiles associated with France, using the wonderful and accurate ressources provided by the French departmental archives. One you have completed the trail, you will be able to use those archives to boost the accuracy of your tree!
This program uses orphaned profiles associated with France. Working on orphaned profiles will give you the freedom you need to practice, and your work will help improve the quality of profiles within the project's reach.
You will be assigned a guide who will help you learn the skills needed to work within the France Project. Your guide is an experienced WikiTree member and is here to help you on your journey. You'll be improving at least three profiles on Level One and two profiles on Level Two.
Level One
This level will focus on the time period between 1793 and 1900. You will learn to use the French archives to find birth, marriage and death records. In the second stage of this level, you will learn to navigate the Revolutionary period (1793-1805).
Level Two
This level will focus on the time period between 1600 and 1792. You will learn about the pre-Revolution parish registers recording baptisms, marriages and burials.
