Surf these sites: About this Catagory -- Jews have been present in France since the Roman times. First documents with names date back to the 13th century, but recording of civil information does not start until 18th century, and only in some places. In the second half of the 18th century several censuses take place, prior to the introduction of a universal civil records scheme. In 1808, all Jews in France (and other parts of the then extended Napoleon Empire) are individually listed. France was also a place for more recent immigration from Eastern Europe and North Africa. Therefore many researchers and societies are also covering these areas. Association de Généalogie Juive Internationale -- Nonprofit organization dedicated to genealogy research, training, and international exchanges of family history information. French Society of Jewish Genealogy -- Site features information on the society, genealogy research questions and answers, and online resources. Mediterranean Institute Memory And Archives Of Judaism -- Archives and heritage of judaism in the Mediterranean world.
