Maps of the Departments of France ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ FranceGenWeb has an excellent map of the departments of France with color coding that indicates whether or not the church and civil records for that department are digitized and available on their website. You can view that map here. The links below the map will take you to pages about each department and information about their archives and collections. République Française has a different map with a drop-down menu that will take you directly to the departmental archives websites. This is a very quick way to get to the right page on each website. You can view that map here. The Departmental Archives of France ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Each department in France has its own archive. Each archive has its own website, with the exception of some overseas territories. Within each departmental archives website there will be different collections available. You will focus on church and civil records at first. The interactive map found on République Française, mentioned above, will take you directly to the church and/or civil records search page of each departmental archives website.

Using that approximate birth year, and the town of burial — Morlac, a search for her baptism record was commenced in the Cher departmental archives. https://www.archives18.fr/arkotheque/consult_fonds/index.php?ref_fonds=1 From the Registres paroissiaux et état civil, or Parish registers and civil status page, on the Cher departmental archives website, a search for the commune, or town, of Morlac brought up a collection of baptism, marriage, and burial records for 1743–1762. The baptism record for Marie Lhopitau was found on image 86 of 109.2 https://www.archives18.fr/ark:/41383/s00512b7af69da6f/512b7af6b53c4 Key Items in French Key Items in English Date of Baptism L’an mil sept cens soixante le dix neuf mars The year one thousand seven hundred sixty the nineteen[th] of March Name of Child Marie Marie Date of birth née d'hier au soir born yesterday evening [18 March 1760] Name of Father jean lhopitau Jean Lhopitau Name of Mother marie descloux Marie Descloux Navigating to the desired record is just like navigating any digital microfilm. Skip around, checking the year until you find the desired section. Once the year 1760 was found, Marie's baptism record was on that exact page. Her exact date of baptism and birth were not previously known so this was a lucky find. If her record had not been on that page, clicking both forward and backward from the beginning of 1760, reading the marginal notes looking for her name would have been the next step. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 © 2021, Amberly Beck Exercise 1 Marie Renard was baptized 30 December 1787 in Parnay, Cher, France.

The baptism record for Marie Renard was found on image 148 of 236.3 Key Items in French Key Items in English Date of Baptism L’an mille sept cents quatre vingt sept le trente The year one thousand seven hundred eighty-seven the decembre thirty December Name of Child Marie Marie Date of birth née de çe jour born this day Name of Father antoine renard Antoine Renard Name of Mother magdelaine bouret Magdelaine Bouret Marital Status son epouse his wife This record has an interesting conflict. Line three begins "fils d'antoine renard," meaning son of Antoine Renard. However, the words "née," or born, and "baptisée," or baptized, are both the feminine forms of those words indicating the child was a girl. The name Marie is used for both male and female children, more commonly for females, so the name doesn't clarify the conflict by itself. There is one additional clue about the gender of the child. The godmother was Marie Fauconot. Children were typically given the same name(s) as their same-gender godparent. Aside from the word "fils," calling the child a son, all other clues indicate this child was a girl. The priest appears to have just made a mistake and written "fils" when he should have written "fille," or daughter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5 © 2021, Amberly Beck Answers for Exercise 2 From the Registres paroissiaux et état civil, or Parish registers and civil status page, on the Cher departmental archives website, a search for the commune, or town, of Morlac brought up a collection of baptism, marriage, and burial records for 1763–1772.

Situé au sud du département, ce contexte piscicole représente un tronçon de la partie amont du cours d’eau compris entre l’aval du plan d’eau de Sidiailles et la confluence avec la rivière le Portefeuille. Dans ce contexte, l’Arnon s’écoule dans les régions naturelles de La Marche puis du Boischaut, dans un environnement agricole au relief assez marqué (Source : Chambre d’agriculture du Cher), et reçoit les débits de nombreux petits affluents (ru de l’étang de la Grange de Nohant, Rifoulet, Palonnière, ru des caves…).

Ces extraits sont tirés de l’hebdomadaire « Famille chrétienne », dans la rubrique « L’Actu de la semaine-Église "Les mots du Pape"» Sainte semaine de bénédictions. Père Marie-Laurent « Adorer Dieu et servir le prochain» «L’adhésion au feu de l’amour que Jésus a porté sur la Terre recouvre notre existence tout entière. Elle requiert l’adoration de Dieu et une disponibilité à servir le prochain. Le premier point implique d’apprendre la prière de l’adoration, que nous oublions habituellement. C’est pourquoi j’invite chacun à découvrir la beauté de cette prière et à l’exercer souvent. Concernant la disponibilité à servir le prochain, je pense avec admiration à tant de communautés et de groupes de jeunes qui, durant l’été, se consacrent à ce service en faveur des malades, des pauvres, des personnes handicapées. Pour vivre selon l’Esprit de l’Évangile, il faut que, face aux nouveaux besoins qui se manifestent dans le monde, les disciples du Christ sachent répondre avec de nouvelles initiatives de charité. Par l’adoration de Dieu et le service du prochain, l’Évangile se manifeste vraiment comme le feu qui sauve.» Angélus du 18 août 2019 (n°2172) « L’origine des crèches de Noël» «

Ce site appartient majoritairement au secteur dit de la « Loire moyenne » qui s’étend du Bec d’Allier à Angers, également nommé « Loire des îles ». Il regroupe les divers habitats naturels ligériens, véritables refuges pour la faune et la flore façonnés par la dynamique des deux cours d’eau, et constitue notamment une zone de reproduction, d'alimentation ou de passage pour un grand nombre d'espèces d’oiseaux nicheuses, migratrices ou hivernantes. Le patrimoine naturel d’intérêt européen Le lit mineur de la Loire et de l’Allier : La Loire et son principal affluent sont des cours d’eau puissants. Leur forte dynamique façonne une multitude d’habitats naturels possédant un grand intérêt écologique. Les grèves, bancs d’alluvions sableuses ou graveleuses, permettent le développement d’une végétation spécifique, adaptée à la sécheresse temporaire et à la submersion et constituent un lieu de vie et de reproduction important pour plusieurs espèces de libellules et certains oiseaux pour leur reproduction. La Sterne naine, la Sterne pierregarin et l’Oedicnème criard, nichent exclusivement sur les sols nus et graveleux des grèves ou des bancs d’alluvions formés au gré de ces cours d’eau.

  • (INRA, Dijon, France) (Original in French) Agriculture in the Jura
    Working group B.2 Mountain and hill areas Chairman: H. POPP Federal Department of Agriculture, Bern, Switzerland Rapporteur: J. VALARCHE Misericorde University, Fribourg, Switzerland 1. Problems of the dairy economy in a disadvantaged area: Prosperity and crisis of agriculture in the Jura Mountains: P. Perrier-Cornet (INRA, Dijon, France) (Original in French) Agriculture in the Jura should adapt in order to keep its prosperity. The local Gruyere cheese production shows a steady development. At the same time, this production becomes localised in comparison to the situation at the end of the 19th century. The number of producers is declining. Growth was hampered by industrial competition (Emmenthal cheese), obliging the Jura producers to fortify themselves by aiming at quality rather than quantity. The State came to their help by laying down rules that guaranteed them monopoly. In areas where cheese production was abandoned, producers turned to mixed fanning (meat and cereals). However, the production structure of 'comte' cheese re- mains the same. The cooperative cheese dairies sell to local ripeners who con- centrate on the making of small cheeses — as the production is heterogeneous — and selling them through traditional channels. The production technique has also remained unchanged: no silage, dairy breed of exclusive regional origin, milking at fixed hours, delivery at the cheese dairy twice a day. Discussion: The discussion revolved round the following aspects: 1. The importance of the natural conditions in mountain areas. The physical conditions of the Jura have led farmers to valorize the milk into quality cheese, by means of a strict organisation. -The success of this production provoked its extension into the plains, but the organ- isation was less accepted there, and the produce suffered from compe- tition by low quality cheese, produced at lower cost in Brittany.

Le Tour de la France par deux enfants, a textbook written in 1877 by Augustine Fouillée, is our entry point to illustrate the strategies used in manufacturing French identity. We also analyze other texts: political speeches from the revolutionary era and from the Third Republic, as well as testimonies from both students and teachers written during the twentieth century. Bringing together close readings and research from various fields – history, linguistics, sociology, and philosophy – we use an interdisciplinary approach to shed light on language and national identity formation. Our findings underscore the connections between French primary education and national identity. Our analysis also contends that national identity in France during the Third Republic was an artificial construction and demonstrates how otherness was put in the service of populism.

  • The Demarcation Line
    No.7 “Remembrance and Citizenship” series THE DEMARCATION LINE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE General Secretariat for Administration DIRECTORATE OF MEMORY, HERITAGE AND ARCHIVES Musée de la Résistance Nationale - Champigny The demarcation line in Chalon. The line was marked out in a variety of ways, from sentry boxes… In compliance with the terms of the Franco-German Armistice Convention signed in Rethondes on 22 June 1940, Metropolitan France was divided up on 25 June to create two main zones on either side of an arbitrary abstract line that cut across départements, municipalities, fields and woods. The line was to undergo various modifications over time, dictated by the occupying power’s whims and requirements. Starting from the Spanish border near the municipality of Arnéguy in the département of Basses-Pyrénées (present-day Pyrénées-Atlantiques), the demarcation line continued via Mont-de-Marsan, Libourne, Confolens and Loches, making its way to the north of the département of Indre before turning east and crossing Vierzon, Saint-Amand- Montrond, Moulins, Charolles and Dole to end at the Swiss border near the municipality of Gex. The division created a German-occupied northern zone covering just over half the territory and a free zone to the south, commonly referred to as “zone nono” (for “non- occupied”), with Vichy as its “capital”. The Germans kept the entire Atlantic coast for themselves along with the main industrial regions. In addition, by enacting a whole series of measures designed to restrict movement of people, goods and postal traffic between the two zones, they provided themselves with a means of pressure they could exert at will.
