The civil register law of 20 June 1870 took effect on 1 January 1871; earlier baptisms, marriages and burials are in parish books.

Ranked with the regional ones first — a collection for a province is usually a better lead than a national index, though the national index is often where a name is actually written down. A free account opens the images.
