6,786,995 records

This collection contains civil records of births in the French department of Nord from 1820 to 1915. Civil vital records were collected by government authorities in France starting in 1792. These birth records contain many details such as the name of the child, their birth date, birthplace, and the names of the parents, including the mother’s maiden surname.<br><br>These births were usually recorded by the child’s father a few days after the child’s birth. If the father was absent, a relative or friend typically registered the birth in place of the father. Marginal notes may be found if a correction was made for an illegitimate child. If a child died at birth, you might only find them in the <a href="https://www.myheritage.com/research/collection-10945/france-nord-civil-deaths-1820-1935" target="blank">death registers</a> instead of in the birth registers.
