I do not know the "rules" concerning moving from one town to another, however, I believe permission was needed to leave the country. In a message dated 7/5/2011 10:48:21 A.M.

I'm very interested in the answer to this question. My Swedish ancestors received innflytings/uttflyttings to move between parishes. An uttflyting would be given when they left the country. The pastor at the new chuch in America would record the information it contained in his book. Such a gift for genealogists. If such a document exists, one could acertain which of the other ancestors also emmigrated. I would love to know if any of my 3rd great-grandfather's siblings left France.

I received what was called a "Domicilliary Card(Document)" of places my great-grandparents lived from the archives in Metz, Alsace-Lorraine. Maybe you can obtain the same document from the place where your ancestors lived by writing to the archives of that town.
