1872 France Census

16.477.400 records

This collection contains the 1872 census records from 67 departments of Metropolitan France. The 1872 census was conducted between 15 April 1872 and 15 May 1872. The indexed census records include given names, surnames, ages, birth places, and residence information. Additional details found on each record’s associated image include occupation, family relationship, and nationality. From 1836 until 1936 a national census was conducted every five years in France except for 1871 and 1916. The 1871 census was delayed a year until 1872 due to the collapse of the Second French Empire during the Franco-Prussian War (also known as the War of 1870 in France). Census records provide an excellent resource for finding ancestral family members living together and identifying their relationships, ages, inferred birth years, and birth places.
