| Dear Fellow Genealogist,
July is French-American Heritage Month, making it the perfect time to celebrate the history, culture and contributions of French immigrants and their descendants. Of course, researching French ancestors comes with unique challenges. As Charles de Gaulle famously said, "How can you govern a country which has two hundred and forty-six varieties of cheese?" Fortunately for genealogists, there are far less than 246 ways to begin French family history research–though sometimes it might feel that way!
In today's newsletter, we examine a historical map of France's Départements, highlight some of the best French genealogy websites and online resources, and explore how to make the most of Geneanet in your research.
Snacking on charcuterie,
