Hi,

I am looking for the birth of Rosalie Wernert born 1805 Strasburgh, France and I wondered if anyone knew where I can look at French birth records?

Thanks. :-)

Hi.

Not sure if this helps, but the following is from the LDS Familysearch site:

https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/France_Births_and_Baptisms_%28FamilySearch_Historical_Records%29

You can see that they have records from the Bas-Rhin region, which I think? covers Alsace. The LDS Church runs Family History Centres where you can get to view what records they possess on Microfiche. I haven't used these centres myself, but I understand they are very helpful.

You can look here for a Centre near you:

You're welcome! I have edited the above a bit as I think it was a bit confusing, please re-read.
It would be be interesting to hear how you get on!

If anyone has a sub to MyTrees.com, there's info there, it seems. Don't know if the link would take you to a record, or just someone's tree:
