In honor of Bastille Day and the Tour de France, a note on French genealogical resources:

• GeneaNet is a French genealogy website with four million records of various sorts.
• The French Genealogy Blog is a blog by Anne Morddel, an American living in Paris.
• In Search of Your European Roots is a book by Angus Baxter, with a chapter on French research. Our genealogy library has a copy.

These are all English language resources. Many others are available if you read French; see Cyndi’s List.
