The ground it holds

Record regions whose registers are filed here, and for which years.

  • 1552–1792 France — the Three Bishoprics and, from 1648, Alsace
  • 1792–1871 France — civil registration
  • 1871–1918 German Empire — Reichsland Elsaß-Lothringen — THE TRAP. The registers do not move and the language does. From 1871 the same volume in the same building is written in German, names are Germanised — Jean becomes Johann, Mulhouse becomes Mülhausen — and the indexes a French-speaking researcher searches will not match. A family that never left the village appears to vanish in 1871 and reappear in 1918.
  • 1918–1940 France — restored
  • 1944–2026 France
