About Allier, France, Marriages, 1568-1913

This data collection contains marriage records from the departement of Allier for the years 1568-1913. The records were compiled from original vital records by members of the Association Allier Généalogie in Vichy, France. The original records used to compile this database were most likely civil registration records for marriages occurring between 1792 and 1909 (since civil registration began in 1792), and from church records for entries dating before 1792. Please contact the Association Allier Généalogie for original source information. Be sure to provide them the entire marriage record when inquiring about a source.

  • Name
